“The Gem” was a British story paper, the companion paper to the more famous “The Magnet”. It was published first fortnightly then weekly in the United Kingdom by The Amalgamated Press, running from February 1907 to December 1939 for a total of 1711 issues, when it was then incorporated into “The Nelson Lee Library” as a result of wartime paper shortages.
These issues are packed in a different way than usual because of the size of many issues and the quantity of the issues.
They are packed in years.
Normally the packs are individual, with these issues you have to download first all numbered packs into the same folder
and after that just start with unpacking the 1st one and the rest will be unpacked automatically.
I use a Windows based desktop and the packs are made with WinRAR, i don’t know how it works
with other systems and programs.

There appears to be a problem with the first group of issues for 1937. The file for issue the last issue (1516) will not open. The others did no problem. I moved the ones that opened to the Gem folder I have for them and then attempted to download the whole lot again. Same problem. However when I looked at the contents of the download it in fact didn’t appear to be there. I am confused.

boutje, I have re-read your instructions and I see the error was mine in that you need to download the whole series of links and when you unrar them – as long as you have kept them together they will unpack the whole series, sorry I misunderstood.
