Creating winrar volumes.

I want to upload a 620MB movie to Rapidshare. I have the Winrar program and need to split the movie into 100MB volumes, or roughly seven 98MB files to upload to RapidShare.

Winrar asks "If you wish to split the archives into several parts, enter the size of a single part, in bytes, in the field below."

I guess I'll have to ask a stupid question. How many bytes are in 100MB? Or for those familiar with the winrar program, I can select from a dropdown menu a field that already exists in the program (98,078k - ZIP- 100). Is this the one I need to select instead of entering a byte value?

I'm new to uploading and was going to split the movie with HjSplit but there has to be a simpler way using winrar. Your help is greatly appreciated.

the 98,078k - ZIP- 100 option will give you the results you are after

there are 1,000,000 bytes per MB if that helps

When I first used WinRar I got my calculations wrong and and ended up with a file split into almost a thousand parts (which were then spread all over my Desktop because i forgot to select a folder Laughing

)

THANKS ALL.... Very Happy

Even me (he, he) had to see little nasty winrar's pop up in 2 weeks..

But a danish pc retard like me..Hhhmm Rolling Eyes

1 quest:

When i downloader winrar, it say's that it is an trial version..

But it works fine - no problems OR

Are there anything i must watch out for about the trial/free version ?..

Nope, just ignore and close the popup about being a trial version.
Have worked fine for me for over two years.

I didn't know how many bytes were in 100mb either, I asked google though and it told me lol

I was messing with it for a few minutes when I discovered I could just write in 198mb and that is how it spit 'em for me...too easy!!
