I have not had the problem.  I don't use ssl but wouldn't
expect that to be involved since all ssl handling should be
transparently handled inside the routines pan calls to
get the file.

I generally use this command to unrar a collection of
files:

   unrar e "this is a file.part01.rar"

Note the command "e" and note the quotes around the
filename.  The filename I use is the the name of the
first numbered part in the collection.

Good luck.
