file-corruption

I try to extract a file from set of .RAR parts. I always get the following error:

Corrupted

so I tried many programs to extract the corrupted RAR files. I have 10 parts, each one 400MB big. The last progam I used was Recovery toolbox for RAR.

It gave me the following message:

Severity:!High
Message:Recovery error for file XXXX with message set file
pointer error.

The program extracted 2GB of data, but it should extract 4GB.

Is there any way to extract the content or am I supposed to download the files again from another server?
