I have a RAR I downloaded made up of multiple files. When trying to extract it, it tells me the data is incomplete, something bad with one of the files. Considering I had to download multiple large files, is there a way to find out exactly which of the files I should re-download?

Look at MacPar deluxe it checks each part - and if the parts include .par files it can recover from some errors

"A checksum error (2) occurred during Unrar, or an invalid password was entered" hmm... (there was no password - and not sure how the checksum thing helps). But good software otherwise. – nute Aug 2 '11 at 13:39
If a rar is split up then it should use .par files to help spot where the error is – Mark Aug 2 '11 at 13:41

UnRarX also has an option to test archives without extracting them.
