Some of the files that you download will have a "file id.diz" file along with it. The .diz file is a simple notepad document that contains the release date, the name of the release group, sometimes the name of the group distributing the file, and the version number of the file.
You read a .diz file the same way that you do a .nfo file, but a .diz file doesn't contain any information that you really need to know unless you want to quickly verify the version number of the program you are downloading.

Why are many .rar files in multiple parts?
This is done so that when you are downloading it if one file is or becomes corrupt it doesn't ruin the entire program. Sure you could make an entire game one hugh .rar file but then after spending all the time to download it one tiny flaw would ruin the entire file. If any single .rar file in a multiple part download is bad then you just have to redownload that one much smaller file.
How to tell at a glance if a multipart .rar file is probably complete?
If the file begins with a file named .r00 then it will end with file named .rar and the next to last file will always be smaller the all the other files.
If the file begins with a file named .001 then the final file will always be smaller than all the other files.
Also FlashFxp will download the .sfv and the .nfo file first from the folder so you will be able to immediately open either one of them and see how many files there should be in total...
