Unpacking files Pleas Read!

Hey everyone,

Hope you are doing well this weekend. Some of you are having trouble unpacking files lately. The reason for this may be because this year I updated to the latest version of WinRar for Windows which I use to archive all of the files for download on BTG. In order to fix the problem, you may need to update your software to a newer version to be compatible with mine. I use a Windows operating system so I am not sure what is available for MAC users RaRLab, WinZip and Unarchiver come to mind, however, a quick Google search of how to open RAR files on a MAC should provide the answer. If you are using Windows you can also use a free program called 7 Zip which I have heard works well to unpack many file-formats including RAR files.

Also when using the MEGA link to download my 24bit files just enter the password when asked to “Enter Decryption Password” the file and you will be able to download from there. Anytime you download a file make sure you let the download finish completely or the file will not work. Information such as Password and much more are located in the FAQ section here on BTG I would advise you to give it a read if you have not already.

Lastly, let’s try to be kind to one another I look at Burning The Ground as my home I would expect people to show respect in my home so I expect it here as well. Disinformation and nastiness will not be tolerated.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Take care and stay safe.

-Paul
