Bump,i tried to download a 1080p file and at the end it could not unrar is there a site where we can look for the working nzb files? I tought that maybe the nzb files i downloaded were corrupted so i tried alt.binaires,binsearch,etc but it seems that it doesn't matter i cannot get this movie to unrar no matter what,please help.
Thank You!

If it doesn't unrar using WinRAR (after repairing with Alt.Binz or QuickPar if parts are missing), then the post is corrupted and you're out of luck.

If it's OK using WinRAR, then you have an Alt.Binz problem.  Start troubleshooting by reading your log ....

So when the .par files are paused am i supposed to un-pause them? And how do i fix the file? Also is there a site where i can get verified nzb files that i'm sure they will work,i tried to download this same file with 3 different names and all ended up corrupted where alt.binz didnt urar them and when i tried unraring them i got corrupted also.
Thank you

Alt.Binz will autounpause enough blocks to repair your file if it's able to.  You can pretty much guarantee that if the same NZB from 3 sites leads to a corrupted file, then the post is bad (NZBs themselves are almost never at fault in this regard).  It's also easy enough to test if Alt.Binz is working as expected by trying another NZB (different post), and delete one of the files from the collection to force it to repair the download ...

Have a look through the wiki if you need to know more about setting up Alt.Binz.
