: You cannot extract a single file from the middle without the software reading everything that came before it in the stream.

: By grouping similar files together, it finds more patterns and shrinks the total size significantly.

: If any part of a solid archive (like your .003 file) is corrupted, it is much harder to recover any data compared to a non-solid archive. 💡 To open this file: Collect all parts of the set (001, 002, 003, etc.). Use 7-Zip or WinRAR. Right-click the .001 file and select "Extract."
