Watch a movie without downloading all 8 parts
1) Download part 1 of the rar archive

2) Once downloaded, right click on it, on the dropdown menu select
"Extract files..."

3) On the menu that comes up, check "Keep broken file".

SEE; 1

4) Hit OK, it will start to extract (enter a password if needed) and once it gets to part 2 you will get the normal error message.

SEE: 2

5) Hit cancel, close, etc. Get the boxes out of the way.

6) There will be a new folder on your desktop, or where ever you choose to extract to, containing the folder and the first 15 minutes or so of the movie. You can watch part 1 while part 2 is downloading, etc.

This is also helpful for checking the quality of movies.

SEE @ IMAGESHACK :
you cant see imageshack cause I dont have 5 posts, but its pretty easy if you read it.

I only put up the one pic because most will be able to figure out the rest from the data up top. Its pretty cool to see if something is worth dwn loading

This maybe a bit old but for those of u who haven't tried as yet you can use winrar to view film files.
For those of you who want to see the quality of films without downloading all the files just do the following:

1. Download only part one to your desktop.
2. Right click on the RAR part one and click on EXTRACT FILES(a window will open).
3. In that window go down to MISCELLANEOUS, and check the box KEEP BROKEN FILES.
4. In the large window highlight the place to save the file and click on OK.
5. When the RAR extraction stops and says you need part 2, just cancel the extraction and part 1 will remain as a playable part. Just view with VLC or what ever player you use and check the quality of video and sound.

Saves a lot of DL time on a bad CAM cop
