PART is a Partially Downloaded File, a file extension used primarily by Internet download managers, programs designed to speed up and handle multiple downloads. These download managers work on the principle that smaller files take less time to transfer than large ones. The download manager takes one or more files from the Internet and breaks them into smaller data chunks, and then when all of the data chunks have been downloaded, the download manager converts them back into one file again.

I really do love FileCure because it's so easy to use - you don't have to be some kind of computer guru to get just what you need!

Plug and play? Not even close. I spent a lot of time trying to get my new, so-called 'plug and play' scanner to work. I was about ready to take it back. ParetoLogic FileCure got it working and saved me a needless trip (and gas!!) back to the store.

I have to admit I'm no computer geek. When something goes wrong, I usually have to call someone to fix it and it costs me a lot of money. When my printer wouldn't work, a friend of mine suggested I try ParetoLogic FileCure a try. I figured it was worth a shot because I was going to have to pay for a geek anyway. I was so happy when it worked... and worked properly!

I figured the graphics card my grandson gave me was broken when I couldn't get it work on my computer. It turns out that I just didn't have the right driver. ParetoLogic FileCure got it workin.

Hello FileCure folks:
I can't thank you enough for this great product. I just bought a new Vista machine and had been having all kinds of problems. First it was my screen and once I got that fixed it was the printer . Finally, my son suggested I try your product. It worked great and continues to keep my computer working. Thanks you.

I hate paying a lot of money for anything. That's why I buy mostly used computer equipment. Last week I thought I got taken when I bought a scanner. It just would not work. ParetoLogic Driver Cure got it working. With the updates, it makes sure my stuff will keep working and that I don't have to pay more money.

I work at a school so my mom thinks I am some kind of computer whiz. I have wasted so much time trying to get her stuff to work. Our IT guy suggested I try ParetoLogic FileCure. It has been a godsend and has saved me a lot of wasted hours. My mom and I can't thank you enough.

My wife bought me a new Vista system, and ever since I have had problems with some of my hardware. I saw FileCure, and decided to give it a shot. Ever since, the Vista and my hardware have been working great. Thanks!

I upgraded my system to Vista, and my printer started to act funny. No error messages, but it just wasn't working quite right. I read that drivers could sometimes be the problem. I looked online and saw FileCure. After downloading FileCure, my printer works great. You guys rock!

These data chunks are the PART files. Each one contains not only a small part of the data of the larger file, but also information as to where each part belongs in the complete file, like a jigsaw puzzle. A similar method of download management is used in the increasingly popular BitTorrent file protocol, a “peer to peer” system of sharing files. While it doesn't use the PART file extension, BitTorrent also breaks files into data chunks for faster transfers and puts them back together in the proper order.

The other purpose for download managers breaking files down into smaller PART files is to be able to pause and restart a file transfer as needed. If the file transfer needs to be interrupted for any reason (loss of power, broken connection to the Internet, a need to restart the computer, etc.), the download manager can resume downloading exactly where it left off, reading the PART files to determine what segments of the larger file have already transferred.
There are several download managers available that make use of the PART file extension. Each one has both similar and unique features, providing a variety of options for everyone regardless of technical knowledge.
eMule Plus is a next generation graphic client for eMule, a popular peer to peer file sharing network with thousands of users. eMule Plus manages a wide variety of transfer protocols (methods of transferring files across the Internet). While it requires some configuration to connect to the eMule file network, the installer makes it a simple process and helps the user through each step. What also sets it apart is that the users themselves, making changes and improvements suggested by other users, develop the software.
Go!Zilla has been a popular Internet download manager for over a decade, despite its negative reputation for downloading ads in order to keep the software free. It has recently been acquired by Headlight Software, makers of another download manager, GetRight. Many changes have been made to improve the program itself, including the removal of the ads. However, only an evaluation copy is available for free. A fee must be paid for a version with all of the functions available.
Free Download Manager and FlashGet are both free download managers developed by smaller, independent companies, each with different features to set them apart. Free Download Manager features streaming video downloading, a “portable” configuration (so that you don't have to install it completely on different computers) and the ability to upload and share files with others. FlashGet features a low-profile performance, support for a multitude of transfer methods and automatic scanning with any installed virus scanner.
The errors that can occur with PART files are similar to those with any files transferred from one location to another: data that fails to copy or gets damaged in one PART file can make the rest of the file (or one or more files in a compressed file) unreadable. Most Internet download managers can recognize when a PART file has been damages or is missing data and will attempt to transfer that data chunk again. If that fails, or a damaged PART file goes unnoticed, the whole file will have to be transferred again. If there are any remaining PART files after all downloads are finished and verified to be working, they can safely deleted if there is a need for disk space or if there is cause to believe that the PART file may contain a virus or damaged data.
