Sometimes you might have to download the whole zip,rar file in which you only needed some part of it.To solve this problem you can use Archview which is a mozilla addon .ArchView can open archive file online without downloading the whole archive. Just like normal web pages. It is very fast since it merely fetches a small portion of the archive file from server. ArchView supports RAR, ZIP formats and ISO CD image; HTTP, FTP and file: protocols. And it can present XUL or HTML interface.

Some of the features are:

  • Directly access archive files on Web or FTP server.
  • List the catalog of archive file.
  • Open or download an individual file.
  • Support RAR and ZIP archives and ISO CD image.
  • Support HTTP, FTP and file: protocols.
  • Can present HTML or XUL interface.
  • Only fetch necessary data rather than the whole archive file.
  • Work together with Firefox, easy to use.
  • Platform independent, (theoretically) support all platforms that Firefox can run.
