EDIT: SOLVED
It’s been too long since I pirated anything other than media. I am on an M2 Mac running Sequoia. Be kind!
Looks like a lot of viruses Trojans IMO. If they bury the files in a lot of zipped folders I think they’re trying to avoid antivirus detection. Send files to virus total
Wow. I got this from a private tracker. From an invite from someone else in this community.
I second this. Scan everything before unzipping, and if you can know what the target files should contain beforehand.
Honestly, in 20 years of using Macs, I have never had to worry about viruses
Had to? No. Should have, especially when extracting unknown files with a weird structure? Absolutely. BSD malware very much exists, which means Mac malware exists. You may have not felt the need to worry, but you very much should have been careful.
What type(s) of file did you download? How many files are there?
Unzip them
I did. Here’s where I am at now:
That’s a multifile split for when we needed to upload them to places where a max upload limit was set. You need to select all and unzip them. Your un zipper should be able to find the pattern and unzip as one. I don’t think you will be able to do anything if you unzip one by one
This is what happened when I selected all. Maybe I should try a different archive app
I think KEKA.app supports split archives. Haven’t used it in a while though.
What’s in all those folders?
There’s .rars in the folders. I selected all those and tried to unarchive them together, and that didn’t work either
Usually those all need to be in the same folder, and you launch unrar with the file with no (if such one exists) or the lowest number (0 of 1) only.
EDIT: This was the answer. Thanks mate! That must have been it. I was lazy and just searched .rars and then selected all the results.
