Issues with Unrar and Ark with opensuse 11.1

English Applications
1

I have some multipart .rar files that I’m trying to uncompress. I
installed unrar and attempted to extract the files with ark. All seemed
to go well but after extraction only the first 150-175mb of the file
gets extracted. Does ayone know what may be causing this issue and how
I can go about extracting a .rar file properly?

I’m running 11.1 with KDE 4.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I find that ‘xarchiver’ (http://xarchiver.xfce.org/) works better with
rar files
You should see it in yast if not you can get it ‘here’
