The files that extracted successfully compared OK. Compressed size is 4788875190 in 11243 sec.
Listing shows 79431 files, 9765625kb compressed to 4676635kb (47.89%). (The number of files is right).
Thank you, Matt! One other thing that you could still try is extracting with, the '-i' parameter (ignore CRC errors), ie:
Code:
packARC x -i bigarchive.pja
In any case, I'll have to look into that. I've never had any unextractable files before (in Windows).
