It worked fine for me. That's what prompted my message ;)
What version of WinRar are you using? I'm using Winrar version 3.71.
My newsreader for this file was Forte Agent V 3.1, but the Agent
version shouldn't matter at all.
The messages I get are after it's mostly repaired ..."The archive
header is corrupt. Mark the archive as solid?" and, in a separate
yellow exclamation mark window,
869 Initial Style Artista.rar: Unexpected end of archive
869 Initial Style Artista.rar: Unexpected end of archive
