I've got a rar set comprising 8 rars. All but the 8th rar in the set are corrupted, and the amount of Par2s I've got isn't sufficient to repair the rar set. I don't want to req more parts (largely because I'm not too bothered about the contents of the rar set), but I'd still like to be able to recover some of it. I was thinking that it might be possible to modify the contents of the Par2 files to 'trick' them into thinking there were only 5 rars in the set (as this would then mean I would have enough Par2s to fix the set). I've opened a couple of the Par2 files with notepad and searched for the filenames in the rar set, then I deleted what I assume is related to these files, but it still thinks they're supposed to be checked. Has anyone ever deleted files from a Par2 set, and if so, did they do it manually (by changing the contents of the Par2 files using a text editor), or was it with another program?
