Recover files from partially downloaded RAR archive

In Linux:

1. Use file-roller to find which part files (.001, .002 ... or r01,r02 ...) contains the file you want to extract.

2. Copy those part files to a seperate directory and rename them serially starting from .001 or r01.

3. Extract with kb (keep broken) switch. You might see some warning but those are harmless.
