Operating system windows xp, 32 bit, Antivirus and firewall - Bullguard.

I am experiencing a peculiar problem which I have never experienced before. The problem is -- I have downloaded 2 rar files (104 MB and 108 MB) from a forum site. 2 files downloaded fully but when I am trying to extract the files they are not extracting fully by the winrar or 7 zip,showing file is broken / unexpected end of archive. Only 10 mb and 11 mb extracting containing only 9 photos in 2 folders. I have asked the original up-loader of the files about the problem I am facing he answered me that he has no idea why this is happening, files are OK he checked. Need some suggestion. Downloaded those files via Mediafire

Try with this free program: Repair and unpack automatically with AutoUnpack I have found it good and easy to use.

It sounds as though the files are corrupt. Try downloading one of them again. If two rar extraction programs say the file is not terminated correctly then I would tend to believe them.

That is the problem, again downloaded the file but same result. Asked the original up-loader about the problem he replied files are OK. Is there any free easy to use RAR Repair tool/software.

" Was AutoUnpack no use for them? Downloaded ''AutoUnpack'' but seems complicated to me. Unable to understand the process how it works.
