Extracting a multi-file ZIP archive

August 17th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jaap

When you’ve downloaded a multi-file zip archive, from let’s say, rapidshare, it’s quite easy to unzip it. For example, the arive was split up into

  • file.z01
  • file.z02
  • file.zip

Here’s howto unzip ‘em:

echo file.z* > newfile.zip

unzip newfile.zip

This too, is an easy one:

echo deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor/ sarge main >>
/etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv CFF71CB3AFA44BDD
gpg --export --armor CFF71CB3AFA44BDD | apt-key add -
sudo apt-get install tor
sudo apt-get install privoxy

Edit the config file as described on the documentation page and restart privoxy. Add Torbutton to your Firefox to tell it to use privoxy and voila: you’re done.

SABnzbD has a new release. It has been added to the PPA immediately, which is great. Updating the packages gave me an error:  The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F13930B14BB9F05F

Quick fix:

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv F13930B14BB9F05F

Then enter the following:

gpg --export --armor F13930B14BB9F05F | sudo apt-key add -

Then, to finish off, enter the following:

sudo apt-get update
