Default uncompressing issues win rar

Hi everyone,
I'm having some trouble to decompress certain rar files using win rar. They're multiple files and I must open them in chain. i've done that before without any problem but now I get stuck right after the beginning. When I search and choose the next file on the list, an error message appears: "unexpected end of the file". If I go to help this is what the software tells me: "Volumes (file division). The volumes are part of a split file. The volumes are only supported by the format of compression RAR, therefore zip files can not be created (...) The first volume has a rar extension, the next volumes are numbered as r00, R01 etc."

What could be wrong. I'm an ordinay pc user. Maybe (or surely) it's something really silly that I'm not aware of.

Appreciate any help, thanks in advance

If the files were not complete on upload then you could get that issue.

What was the download?
