i have quite a few rar archives, usually in dozens of parts and very big. one archive for instance is 680gb over 200 parts. these archives all have par files and recovery records in rar so i dont mind leaving them as is for cold storage. but periodically it would be good to check and make sure the archive has not become corrupted.

i wonder is there any way to check the integrity of these archives quickly without going through and unzipping each one? i have heard about checksum or hashes (forgive me i know nothing about this sort of thing). would a program concerning those things be what i am after?

any help would be great thank you
