We’ve received numerous questions around what .001 files are and how to use them. 001 files are the format for split files. .001 files are usually numbered as .001, .002, .003, etc. They are not compressed and contain separate components of a file. In order for a .001 file to work, it must be “joined” back together. Many times .001 files will be joined to create an ISO or a Bin File.
On your Mac, do any of the following: Compress a file or folder: Control-click it or tap it using two fingers, then choose Compress from the shortcut menu. If you compress a single item, the compressed file has the name of the original item with the.zip extension. If you compress multiple items at once, the compressed file is called Archive.zip. How to Zip a File on Mac. Open a Finder window, then locate the file or folder you want to zip. Right-click on the said file or folder. Select 'Compress' in the drop-down menu you see.

Instead of using a program like WinRAR or 7Zip to compress and break apart files, the .001 split format is just a file that has been divided into several parts for easier posting. Most of the articles or binary files that you download from binary newsgroups will be in a RAR format such as filename.part01.rar, filename.part02, etc. These files can be extracted-put back together into its original state by an UNRAR’ing program . In most cases, .001 files cannot be put back together by UnRAR programs.
UnRAR/Extraction programs like Winrar do not extract the .001 split files because the files were never compressed. They are usually split apart by a file splitting program such as hjsplit or 001filejoinerspliter.
