.zip.001 archives
Hi guys I've searched on the internet and the apparent solutions hadn't worked for me (winzip/winrar/7zip and joiner programs) and I have searched here finding nothing on this file archive.
I downloaded several films split into zip.001, 002, 003 etc. files and when getting the final piece and trying all the archivers suggested on the internet for this, either the files aren't recognised or they unpack to a zip folder which cannot be opened and extracted.
I've got 2 films split up in this way but, I'm not sure if perhaps the problem is a damaged archive or not. I know when 7zip opened the zip.001 file it showed that in the folder was an avi so after numerous attempts at renaming the originals .avi.001 etc or the unpacked file .avi they are not recognised at all and I'm really out of ideas as to what the problem here is. If indeed this is due to a damaged archive then fair enough there isn't much to do apart from remove them from my HDD but, if there is a solution I'd love to know as it took forever to get all the pieces.
Thanks in advance for any help offered and, feel free to comment if you have had a similar issue like this so it can be narrowed down what we're all doing to try find a solution and what doesn't work!
