I was a Windows user before.
I often received a RAR file, which are stated to be "there is an ERROR". But, since there is a Keep Broken Files option. So, I successfully extract the compressed file.
But in Ubuntu, I unable to found that options.
Please guide me ......

Hi

Sometimes i make assumptions. Sorry about that.

I'll look around to see if i can find a GUI (window) way for you to do it.

This method uses the terminal.

In my directory there is a rar file called a.rar.

matthew-S206:/home/matthew/rara % ls
a.rar
matthew-S206:/home/matthew/rara %

i can unzip the file using the command unrar. It has the -kb switch to keep broken file and uses the e command to extract the files.

Take a look at this.

matthew-S206:/home/matthew/rara % ls       
a.rar
matthew-S206:/home/matthew/rara % unrar e -kb a.rar

Extracting from a.rar

Extracting  a                                                         OK 
Extracting  aa                                                        OK 
Extracting  aaa                                                       OK 
All OK
matthew-S206:/home/matthew/rara % ls
a  aa  aaa  a.rar
matthew-S206:/home/matthew/rara %

I'll look at see if i can't find a method that does not use the terminal for you though.

Kind regards
