    Hey I have been having some stupid trouble with WinRar. Everything Lately that I have tried to extract has some type of error occur ?"The File Is corrupt". The thing is i know the feel should not be corrupt what so ever. Did any one else ever run into this problem? Like its been doing it to too so many. I have never had it do it that much. For example "Horror loops 13" Any feedback would be very appreciated thank you

    It could be that you're trying to unrar it in a long path. Or disk is full.

    Try to unrar it in the root of your disk, like C: for example.

    Is this on mac or pc?
    Which version of rar are you using, do you have the latest version 5.11 ?

    A bit more info would make it a bit easier to help you.

    I'm with zeusgodbcn.
    Long path (error should be different BTW)
    Disk full (so the temp folder can't be used)

    I will add :
    Disk corruption (do a checkdisk)
    Malware (use Malwarebytes Free)

    And before all that, you need the last version (that's why i use Winrar, even alongside 7zip).

    for osX i use unrar for the .rars and keka for the .zips

    sometimes i get a sneaky little fucker that creates a .cue and .bin file.... still cant remember how to do those ones it just keeps creating more .bins if you do it wrong.....

    also (if the download is a bunch of .rar's only) i will highlight all of them at once and use unrar and bammmm at it makes me a sandwich like it is supposed to

    on windows if the download didnt completely finish it will still read as a .rar this will show an error most times but still decompress the files that did successfully complete

    on mac it will say rar.part.rar and it will not even let you mess with it

    I had this issue on a hard disc with stuff I downloaded and haven't used in a long time. It was a seagate disk, and it's a known problem that old files become corrupted over time with this particular kind of drive. Very annoying.
