These are WinRAR files. The poster has pre-processed the file with RAR to split the item into smaller pieces, more suitable for transmission in Usenet. You will need a copy of WinRAR to recombine these files into their original form. This has nothing to do with Agent, or any news client. Think of rar files as you would a zip file. You can get WinRAR from www.rarlab.com. We have more information about downloading binary files in Agent on our Guide To Binaries page.
