ok, open up winrar, select options>settings>intergration>context menu items
there you can select what items appear with the right click of a file :)

oh yeah, you may have to select "intergrate into windows shell"
(right above the menu items button)

Load file up in WinRAR. Select all the files.
Then go into:

Commands -> Test Files...

:blink: :lol: :blink:

damn, i was ready to blame it on corrupted files,
didnt think there wouldnt BE ANY files :lol:

how big is the file?
if you hold the mouse over it you should get an info popup
(if ya got windows configured to do so)

if its only, like, a few kB up to a few hundred kB, maybe even a few MB,
its no game file ;)

probably a pr0n dialer if you ever do get it open :lol:

just dump it is what i&#39;d do

curious, what game?

oh im going to stop fooling myself, its a corrupt file, fuckin kazza, i said to myself id never download a big file again off kazza coz its shit. i downloaded 8 mile the other day and that was fucked as well, now this at 465mb. :angry:

i guess ill stick 2 suprnova :D

[fkdup74]

its reading at an actual 465MB?
are you sure its a rar?
i mean, is it just named in the file "rar",
or did you check its properties?

i&#39;m pessimistic about ANY klite d/l&#39;s these days,
but maybe you could check into it a little more :unsure:

go into windows explorer, (or open up any folder),
select tools>folder options>view>then uncheck "hide extensions for known file types"
maybe that&#39;ll help, or maybe just right clicking the file and checking its properties
could maybe tell ya if it actually is a rar

could be you just need to switch to emule or stick to suprnova :lol:
