If unsure how to use it let me know and we can explain abit more.

Yeah sorry. I have a tendency to reply before I've tried anything. I ran the test and it found no errors so I am back to the drawing board. :(

Do even solid .rar's work, not the series?
Do rar's / rar series that you make work?

To the first question, yes, sometimes. To the second, I haven't made any yet so I don't know.

Did you test with the SFV files what you downloaded hadnt corrupted in transit? If that is saying its good and your RAM is good... then the only possible thing left would be the software you are using to unrar the files. Tried other software as well?

I have tried several different programs and I always get the same message from each one so even If I do find out that some something corrupted the file during transfer what would be the solution then?

I don't have a file to unarchive with a sfv file atm so I will have to wait until I get one to test it out.

Aren't there programs that can repair damaged achives?

Make some?

Using official winrar (Replace somefile with a file :P)
Make a solid rar:

rar a somerarfile.rar somefile somefile

Make a series(10 Meg parts):

rar a -v10M somerarfile.rar somefile somefile

See if you can unrar them with your gui and with the cli.

Unrar

rar x somerarfile.rar

Also tell bittorrent recheck the files, if it doesn't redownload anything then the files arn't damaged. Because bittorrent does this by default nobody on trackers includes recovery records for repairing damaged rar's, as there arn't any damaged rar's.(well there can be, but not cause of bittorrent)

wompy here is a great program you should try that I have been using since my usent days it's called AutoUnpack : See and Be - AutoUnpack - Home Im on windows but I think it should work with mac it can repair or at least it has for me in the past damaged files. Good luck
