Retnaburn Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) I hope this is the right place to ask. I just downloaded 10.29.03.SILENT.HILL.3.DVD-DEViANCE from supernova. There are 3 files labeled dev-sih3.r00, dev-sih3.r01, and dev-sih3.r02. I've tried a few things like renaming them.rar and trying to uncompress them but I'm new to this and don't have a big bag of tricks. This is supposed to be a PC game, if that matters.

Agozer Posted May 18, 2004 Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) Open the.r00 in WinRAR (with the open dialog) and start exacting from there. WinRAR will extract the following volumes automatically. NEVER try to rename extensions of compressed formats (unless you really know that it fixes things rather than breaks them). Edited May 18, 2004 by Agozer
Retnaburn Posted May 18, 2004 Author Posted May 18, 2004 Thanks for the help. I use winace and for some reason thats not working, I'll try winrar later today. As far as renaming, I always do my tinkering on a copy, learned the hard way long ago.

Retnaburn Posted May 19, 2004 Author Posted May 19, 2004 Ok, your advice worked but I've run into another problem. When I extract from the rightclick menu, it tells me I need a.r03 file to continue. When I try to extract by double clicking it freezes my puter for a minute then tells me the file is corrupt. I read that torrent files couldn't be sent corrupt, that it was designed to check as you d/l. This is so frustrating, I really appreciate your help. I hope I haven't hit a dead end with this.

Retnaburn Posted May 19, 2004 Author Posted May 19, 2004 I didn't think it would be that simple. =p I assumed the files from that site came complete. Does anyone know where I can pick up the rest of it?

Does anyone know where I can pick up the rest of it?They should all be somewhere where you got the other parts from. Here's a question, how big are the.r00,.r01,.r02 files?
Agozer Posted May 19, 2004 Posted May 19, 2004 It pretty rude to seed a split archive on Suprnova and miss the last part.
Retnaburn Posted May 20, 2004 Author Posted May 20, 2004 They should all be somewhere where you got the other parts from. Here's a question, how big are the.r00,.r01,.r02 files?50 million bytes each, exactly. Suspicious.
Gryph Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Yeah, you are definitely missing a lot more. Much more than just the.r03.
Wizard Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 They should all be somewhere where you got the other parts from. Here's a question, how big are the.r00,.r01,.r02 files?50 million bytes each, exactly. Suspicious. Add them all up and you should get at least 3.5GB (?). It's not suspicious, it's just files splitted up. I remember Emperor: Battle for Dune PCRIP was 127.6 megs, and it was split up seperatly to fit on 1.45mb Diskettes, which in turn was around 88 diskettes.
Retnaburn Posted May 20, 2004 Author Posted May 20, 2004 (edited) 150 million bytes is ~143 MB. What I thought was suspicious tho is they're all the same size down to the byte. edit: I just found the rest of them on Supernova. It says "Silent Hill 3 DVD [Missing r00-r02]" 2600mb. I dont remember seeing it there yesterday. Thanks again for the help guys. Edited May 20, 2004 by Retnaburn
Sane Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 They're all exactly the same size because they are supposed to be. The person who compressed it let winrar split the file in lot's of pieces, putting in a exact number. All the files are that size except the last one. It's not mysterious, it's always like that.

Suspicious. Then you are definitely missing an archive, since the last part is usually smaller than the preceding ones.
