Tips for unlocking .rar files
February 10, 2008, 09:32:15 pm
As the thread says.
 
Google seems to be offering voodoo such as codecracking sites or stealing the ENIGMA machine itself . . . ; www.winrar.com appears to have been designed by spackers (or I'm a double-spacker for failing to find the free download - a definite possibility).

Any more experienced mp3 rippers than I have any useful tips to help?  Thanks in advance.

(It's just I think I've found a mix w/ the ultimate tracklist and blah etc..)

You trying to crack a passworded .rar?  Assuming you are try these:
Simple passwords you can crack with rar password cracker or similar.  Aything with long passwords or special characters (eg Houdini=tw@) you may struggle with (ie you're fucked).  Give that a try and see, but it can run for a while.
Good luck.

EDIT:  You could also try ap ass cracker, but it only works on files created with certain .rar versions.  Not used it but I hear it often works.  rarkey is another.
Get onto Google.

Are you trying to un-rar a file or do you have trouble with a password protected rar file cos it ain't too clear.
If your just after downloading winrar itself then try HERE

EDIT:  Ah, you beat me to the post.
Try Jim's link if it isn't a passworded file.  Let us know.

It sounds like you've got a .rar file and you don't know what to do with it. Download winrar & install, open up the file into winrar and click on "extract to" and tell it where you want to extract it to. Hope this helps you

It sounds like . . .        . . . you don't know what to do with it.

Jim, you remember that episode of the Simpson's where a viewing-bubble opens up inside Homers' head and all that's there is a donkey swatting flies w/ it's tail . . . ?

Almost like:



Cheers guys.  It's been worth it.

(All these turd-brain issues really inspire me to get more tech-literate and use more of this lapdog and to better effect.)

Can a moderator change the name of this thread to "I'm being a thicko- can someone point out the obvious, please?".  :lol:

Houd- as long as we have been of use, our time has been well spent.
(What is this mythical rar of anyway?)

Struggle a bit w/ technology . . . (Luddite)  :-[  And a Kraut O/S that sometimes throws just too much guff @ me  >:( (mostly this)  And truth be told I blame that sour cunt Mr. Davenport, my old computer science fascist - who had really bad breath and I always hated!  And the Commodore 64's / Spectrums we had at the time . . .


I can do Tens & Units . . .   And sometimes even keep score when I play arruz!   8) ???

What is the .rar?  Usual shite: techno.
