Every video this user has has all the parts of the video, which I have downloaded for several videos and joined and they all worked perfectly, and a zip file. I wondered if the zip file was a compressed form of a large portion of the video or the entire video so you didn't have to download all the individual parts to play the video. I tried to extract each zip file but it always says it requires another part. It'll first ask for part 1; and I'll download the first part and then try to extract the file and then it actually begins to extract but then stops after about ten seconds and says it requires part 2. I kept downloading the parts it asks for until it asked for part 6 of 9 and then I knew that if it worked this way then it wasn't that much of a shortcut to downloading the whole video. It might still be a shortcut though I just need to find out what it is. And yes it is Filemonster LOL, great guess. I would post a link but it is to a different website and I might get in trouble for that as I have just been told I broke the rules for doing that in a post I made yesterday. Lol. And I figured it out SlimJim by going to Tools on the task bar of any window you open up in the Windows XP operating system. I have Windows XP, I'm kind of behind the times, and when you go to Tools you can select Folder Options. And then go to View, and there should be a list of options to view details of files or folders. There's a box that says "Hide extensions for known file types" and it is normally checked. If you uncheck the box, each file then shows its full extension so you can see if each file is written the same. If you, for an example, have five parts to a movie, you can see how each part is written and it's not normally some complicated code or anything. Here's an example: Bel-Ami.Example-Movie.Example.avi.z01 Bel-Ami.Example-Movie.avi.z02. A user can type a file name with several periods in between, I don't know how many, separating a different detail about the movie. The hyphens are used for a space because you can't have spaces in file names. At least I don't think. Each file name must be the same though. Sometimes an error occurs with the program the user used and one of the files gets a typo mixed in or the user who wrote it did it. The last part of the file name... either z01, 001, or whatever must be different for each file. When it says z01, z02, etc. HJSplit won't recognize the files. They have to be renamed 001, 002, etc. in order to be joined. So maybe either the file names were misspelled or the z's were messing with your joining with Winrar. But I don't know much and I'm new to this. All I know is that I didn't know that SlimJim about the Dynamic IP and Filemonster as I just became aware of that option in downloading, as in rerouting your IP and using a program like JDownloader. And that sucks about Filemonster. But does anyone know why there could be a zip file along with all the video parts available for download for each video?
