Multi-RAR files using Linux

Hey.

This one may be interesting for those who like to share and use P2P. As I’ve noticed, P2P likes multi-rared stuff. OK so I’ll go straight to the point. Find the file you want to multi-RAR. For this example I’ll use ubuntu.iso.

Command for multi-RARing is as follows:

rar a -v5000k ubuntu.rar ubuntu.iso

rar – command to rar files.
a – add files to archive
-v5000k – this means that rar will split files into 5000 kb pieces. You can change this value, that’s not a problem.
ubuntu.rar – file name of the resulting rar (do not forget that you.ll get ubuntu.part01.rar, ubuntu.part02.rar, etc)
ubuntu.iso – file you’re raring.
Do not forget that RAR is proprietary software which needs to be bought. It’s not open source either. :(
