RAR extractor with 'keep broken files' option?

[Onno]

At the moment I extract incomplete RAR archives with the freeware command
line tool from Rarsoft, but that is quite a hassle.

Does a Windows freeware exist to do this?

Can you confirm that IZarc has the 'keep broken files' option?

What are "broken files" ?

What are "broken files" ?

Files in a RAR archive that are incomplete because not all RAR parts are
available.

available.

Shouldn't you download the same file(s) again from the Internet or
source?
You can repair a damaged compress file but you cannot repair a
incomplete compress file.

Perhaps I didn't use the right words. Rar archives often consist of
different volumes (maybe that's the word I should have used instead of
parts), part01.rar, part02.rar etc.

Say you have the first 2 volumes of an archive that consists of 10.
With Winrar it is possible to extract the available data in the 2
volumes. This is very useful with multimedia files, it gives the chance
to preview the file before you download the remaing volumes.

IZArc cannot do that but 7-Zip can.
Get 7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org/.

I've tried it and it works indeed.
Thanks a lot for the tip!

Sorry if this response is a little OT.
I greatly prefer IZarc when compared with WinZip... however, IZarc did
not and/or would not extract RAR files into usable format.
Do not understand why that is... I use Win98 (first edition) OS.
Anyone else ever noticed this situation?
What is the proper method?

Excuse me if this post out of line!

Which version of IZArc you're using.
I don't have problem of extract RAR files with IZArc 3.3.1.
But someone said he/she is having RAR extraction problem with the latest
version 3.4.
