How to Download RAR Files
- 1). Right-click the link containing the RAR file and choose "Save Link As" from the popup menu. The "Save" dialogue appears with the title ending in a RAR extension such as "mymovie.rar."
If an extension ending in a number, like "mymovie.r01" appears instead, you have a split RAR file. Because the compressed version may still prove too big to send, it may be split into smaller pieces, each of which have sequential file extensions like "mymovie.r02" and "mymovie.r03." Make sure to download all the parts. - 2). Choose the folder in which to store the download. When downloading split RAR files, make sure all the pieces go to the same folder.
- 3). Enter a file name as needed or accept the default one. Then click "Save" to download the file.
- 4). Download, install and run a decompression program like the commercial WinRAR or the free Rar Extract Frog, both of which are linked under Resources. Open the RAR file through the application to restore it to its original size. If you have split files, your software may only show the first one in the sequence. But if all the parts are in the same directory, it will automatically assemble the pieces.
