This error occurs mainly as a result of incomplete download or incomplete transfer. The errors due to corruption can show up in a variety of ways, but one of the most common errors you can encounter is ‘Cannot open file as archive’.
However, despite these advantages, like all other files, RAR files also do experience corruption issues from time to time. And also thanks to the file size, they can be transmitted faster. These files are lighter and occupy considerably less storage space compared to regular files. RAR files are a type of compressed file format that contains several files and folders within it.
