I don't think you want to join the RARs. Extract what's inside them
first(.wmv, mgp, avi. etc). then join. Except for HJ SPlit, which only
works on files that were split with it, I haven't found a free joiner that
doesn't have some kind of limitations. Perhaps someone else has.

That's a good one and it works, but it's a command line utility
according to the site. Iceows is what I use:
http://www.iceows.com/HomePageUS.html
It's the only one I've tried that never makes a mess of what it
extracts. And all you have to do is to right click on the first file,
the tell it to extract wherever you want.

I've got 7-Zip. It works great for expanding RAR files, but I
didn't know it would join numbered RAR parts together. I could
expand each part with it, but then I'd have a bunch of separate
parts, wouldn't I? I'm new to this whole downloading RAR multipart
movies from Usenet.

I think my 7-Zip would extract all the parts individually, but I'd
prefer something what would extract and join in one operation. I
know WinRAR will do this but it isn't free, and I was hoping a
free utility existed.

I will down load it and take a look. This functions looks as if it
might be what I need:
"Multi-volume spanning for ICE,ARJ, ZIP, RAR, ACE et MS-CAB"

I have done successfully very similar thing with 7-zip a couple of
times. It goes like this: you have to have all the numbered rar-files
in same directory (folder) and then you start extracting all of those
files by extracting the first one (for exaple: file0000.part001.rar) by
using "extract here" and the rest is done automatically.

Sound promising. I will give it a try.

as to how to use it to join multipart RAR movies.
A multipart rar will join automatically unless it is a large rar that has
been split by a 3rd party program. Multipart rar files can be named in 2
different ways. "filename"part001.rar, "filename" par002.rar, etc. or
"filename".rar, "filename".r00, "filename".r01, etc, etc. To decompress a
rar file point the decompression program to either "filename"part001.rar or
"filename".rar depending on which way they were named.

What do you know? It worked perfectly. I watched the "Sentinel"
with Michael Douglas, my first downloaded movie over my new
broadband connection. Not too bad a viewing experience. The fly
that kept buzzing in and out of the frame was a bit distracting,
as were the coughs from the audience during the quiet moments, but
over all, it didn't suck too badly.
