Hey Creatures!

So are the file names something like this?

R00
R01
R02

You begin extraction with the first file, it runs through the 2nd and 3rd, now it's asking for R03 (fourth)?

I just made up file names, but normally a series of rar files are numbered like that.

Can you provide a link to that download?

yeah it asks for the next file like you said!!

I've had that happen to me a few times, and in every case it turned out that I was, in fact, missing the required file.
Are you absolutely sure you have all required files? I don't doubt you, but you might not even realize that you're missing one.

i'm not missing it there are really just three files and the file sizes are right too!!

but why does he needs that for the last 1%??

WHat are the file sizes? Are they all the same, or is the third smaller?

Yea thats weird .. usually the last file in a .rar set is smaller than the ones before it. I think something is up with those files Creatures, maybe where your getting them from is missing a file.

Can you check the integrity of the archives? Usually there's a sfv file or similar available to download with multipart files.

Try downloading the last archive again if that's what has different filesize.
