Scene archives Part1 ---> r01?

[iLOVENZB]

How do scene groups split their archives?

I've tried using WinRAR but got part1 instead of r01, Do you just rename the file extension?

[DiMENSiON]

did you try to just open .part1 and extract it?
i think that if all the files are named .partXX then is should work :yes:

I know how to extract archives it's that I need to save on characters. I just want to know, do you just rename the archive part from part1 to r01? :happy:

I dont remember how to do it, but I had done it once - extension r01. Cant seem to find now. There must be some option to change it.

Edit: Just found this in the help section of winrar.

By default RAR volumes have names like 'volname.partNNN.rar', where NNN is the volume number. Using -vn switch (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/HELPSwVN.htm) it is possible to switch to another, extension based naming scheme, where the first volume file in a multi-volume set has the extension .rar, following volumes are numbered from .r00 to .r99.

I know 7zip does .001, .002 scheme.

You want to zip or unzip something?

He wants to make scene rar's with r01, r02, etc....

BTW- There using the older naming convention, like this:

somefile.r00
somefile.r01
somefile.r02

This is the newer naming convention:

somefile.part01.rar
somefile.part02.rar
somefile.part03.rar
