Is it working for other people? If other people on different news servers are having no problems, it means your server did not get all the files. If it's not working for anybody, it means that some files did not make it to Usenet.

cheers.
I have also come across this same scenario of quickpar leaving the random numbers and letters in quite a lot of the extracted files, but it does change the files to the proper rxx extension that the file is supposed to have. I have handled it this way. I right click one of the correctly renamed files and choose rename. The file name and not the extension highlights. I then copy that name. I then use the Ctrl button to select all of the misnamed files and right click them all. I then choose rename and then paste. Now all of the files are properly named. I then unrar them. This works for me with W7.
i deleted all my files but i had already tried renaming the files and it did not work, none of the sequence numbers seem to match it .r10 could be renamed to .r35 etc, so i have no idea what is the correct files names for each file.
I'd Like to say a big thanks to MysticRiffs for the above help, I'd just rejoined usenet after a 2 year break and wondered why the files weren't the usual rar, quickpar didn't fix them but multipar did :)
quickpar seems to work fine for me.. I had to use it to rename all the files for man of steel earlier... not sure .. I use grabit.. but quickpar in it wont rename the files either.. so I just open up quickpar and do it myself. pm me the file header as well I want to see what wont rename!
My first download of a set of rar files named with random letters and numbers resulted in a large number of them being incomplete. I was using Forte Agent.
Apparently, any incomplete rar would not be renamed using QuickPar or MultiPar, and was listed as missing.
And with all these "missing" files, I did not have near enough par files to repair the archive.
I did the following to repair and extract successfully:
I first had QuickPar rename what it could (using the appropriately named "rename" button); it renamed all the complete rars. I then had about 30 (out of around 100) files that were incomplete, labeled as missing, and therefore not renamed.
I took the first still cryptically named incomplete file and manually gave it the name of the first missing "named" file (could be the name of any missing file by the way...just did it this way to avoid confusion).
example: I renamed adffgid75ffdfd.032 to marypoppins.003 since I had .001, .002, and .004.
I then ran QuickPar, and looked to see what actual file marypoppins.003 was. QuickPar would pair up the .003
file with the actual file, such as marypoppins.022 (p.s. thank you QuickPar).
I then manually renamed marypoppins.003 to what it really was, which was marypoppins.022.
Did this for all the files, had QuickPar repair them, and extracted the archive with WinRar.
Very tedious, but it worked.

Most of the time, just drag ALL the files (and ALL the par2 files) downloaded into the quickpar/multipar window (presuming you are on a windows PC) and it will manually check all the files you have added to see what can be used for repair.
Just Press ADD in Quickpar and point to all the Files it will sort them outQuote:
