I would imagine some of you guys already knew about this. So this is for those who don't
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If you opened this you have dealt with Par2 files and archives.
HERES THE TRICK:
1.) USE THE PREVIEW FOLDER OF THE PAR2 FILE THAT WON'T OPEN. MAKE THE "Previews" file into and archive using winrar.
2) Place the archive in the folder containning the nonworking Par2 files.
3.) Click on the new archive, opening it.
4.) Right click inside the archive and select "Add files". This will open a dialog box inside the archive asking what files you want to add.
5.) Select any files that are archives including the restore archives. (they look like this: FILENAME.rar.#15720168-15729835#) and add them to your new archive.
6.) Without closing the archive right click again. and select "Repair Archive".
7.) Open the rebuilt archive you just created and extract. I usually just right click and select "Extract Here".
8.) Open the folder and notice that you just opened all the files from the broken archives.
It doesn't matter if you were able to download the header or not and I imagine it works with regular archives that wont open also.
TRY THIS OMG IT WORKS VERY WELL.
