Once I'd face this problem. I just extract it normally, and it aborted to the part of the song where it was not completed.
haha~* probably I'm just lucky or wat...

Try and see, might work.
Good luck~* wink.gif

*edit - although it wasn't a complete DL, the file was in *.rar format[my case]

depend on how you download it. if it is sequential (without download manager or using single thread) there is a possibility tat you can extract a few songs from it. if not, it is impossible to extract the file.

when you extract, check the box "keep broken files"

If you haven't finished downloading the archive file, most probably it won't be considered a valid archive and you can't extract a single file from it.

I presume you are using a registered WINRAR?
If not I don't think its apropriate to talk about it after all its a shareware and its not exactly free distribution.

Be it free or shareware, the threadstarter wanted to know if it is possible to use the archive when it is incomplete

So don't get paranoid...there is no issue on licensing

May I ask a question (tumbang sweat.gif )? Which compression tools are better? 7-Zip? or WinRAR? icon_question.gif

in term of user friendliness and easy-to-use, i would say WinRAR.
