Re: [computer-tech-support: 8352] How to open corrupted rar files without using any software ?

when a file is corrupted i don't think it's recoverable, unless the rar file has a recovery record, which is not so likely, you could try to do the repair option in winrar but it probably will fail, usually we just re-download the file, a good way to check if the rar program is being silly or the file is actually corrupted is by checking the md5sum of the file, many download sites provides the md5 sum for the file downloaded, its a 32 letter hash code generated, something like this (a0b162e26281ef097ee8b39b8690a8c2), u generate the same hash code for ur file and if they match then the download has been successful, otherwise the downloaded file has been corrupted while downloading or for any other reason, you should easily find a program for that in windows
