Brilliant idea, I guess I start downloading more Telecines etc now and checking the quality (if they don't have samples) before I decide to just wait for the DVD Rip or R5

Thanks

If you don't have the first rar file, or you don't have all the rar files, you need to move the first rar part to another folder (a subfolder works fine). Now if the archive contains more than one file, you just need to find the beginning of that file and you can extract that one file.
This works great with archives of pictures, say you don't have rar part 2, you can open rar part 3 (if there is no rar part 1 in that folder), select 1 or more pics and extract them. You can't extract folders or all files, or "end of files".

I learned all the rar tricks from downloading incomplete files from newsgroups, I could even piece together broken downloads, tricking Winrar into extracting broken videos, then repairing them with VirtualDub so that MPC would play the whole vid.

I wish uploaders would learn to use Par2 files, I think that would solve a lot of headaches with deleted files, and maybe even prevent file sharing servers from scanning the archives contents.
