from what you post, it is a file divided into multiple parts

if it mentions crc errors it means that one of the parts is not present or is damaged or is incomplete

but if you try to decompress the file with another app and it works, then 7zip is not working well

jdownloader has a module to unzip and join files like that one, if you have it installed, you can try it

also useful to download those big files divided into multiple parts and automatize the whole process

1. Do you have all of the parts of the split rar file?

2. Do you have rarlinux installed?

If the answer is yes to both, the file to extract is the one that ends in .rar. It will automatically join all the parts of the contents of the split rar files as it extracts them; you do not have to join the parts first. File-roller will do this if aimed at the right file.

You can also do this from a terminal, if you cd to the directory holding the split archive parts.

[prompt <location>]$ unrar x *.rar                 <Enter>

Use of the x command will reproduce the full path of files in nested sub directories, if they exist. Otherwise it will just extract a single file, or multiple files, if that's all that is in the split archive, into the present working directory.

Of what use be there for joy, if not for the sharing thereof?

didn't knew 7zip depended on the rar package, only knew that ark depends on it

jdownloader is more independent and doesn't call that rar module
