    I'm absolutely driving myself crazy trying to extract this rar file. I use 7zip and extract rars everyday. but this one says this:

    file name is blocked out by yours truly. What are the reasons it says its not supported? It's a damn rar file!!

    Have you tried any other software to extract the file?

    I don't see why I would need to. 7zip is good and I can extract other rars. Just not this one. Maybe I'll try another one. I doubt it'll work though. Suggestions?

    its either the .rar file is broken or its truely not supported by that 7zip
    try winrar and see if the problem goes away or persist

    Tried with winrar. Says file is broken or not supported.

    This is fucking wonderful. Took me about 24 hours to download.
