Preview a movie without downloading all 8 parts
Here's what you do
1) Download part 1 of the rar archive
2) Once downloaded, right click on it, on the dropdown menu select
"Extract files..."
3) On the menu that comes up, check "Keep broken file".
4) Hit OK, it will start to extract (enter a password if needed) and once it gets to part 2 you will get the normal error message.
5) Hit cancel, close, etc. Get the boxes out of the way.
6) There will be a new folder on your desktop, or where ever you choose to extract to, containing the folder and the first 15 minutes or so of the movie. You can watch part 1 while part 2 is downloading, etc.
This is also helpful for checking the quality of movies. You won't be able to play with Windows Media Player, but you can use an alternative like VLC Player which will play it.
