Winrar troubles

I've downloaded a winrar archive and there are somewhere's around 71 rar files with the extensions .r00 to .r70. Now when I try to unpack the file it says (filename).r29 Unexpected end of archive. When I look at the properties of .r00 through .r29 it show the file type as winrar archive. But when I look at .r30 through .r70 they show as .r30 through .r70 file types. When I open the .r30 through .r70 files with winrar it shows the archived data but i get the same error message. Is there any way to edit the properties to change the file type to winrar archive? or to get the archive to work?

What you are seeing is normal for large archives but the error you are receiving is because the archive was not fully downloaded or one of the archive files is corrupt.

As was already mentioned, file extension behavior like that is normal on a large guantity of files. In your case, start with the file that has the .rar extention (there should be only one) , not a numbered one. Let us know what happens.
