Yes, in Ubuntu 8.10 - File Roller 2.24.1, for multi-part RAR archives
the progress bar stays at 50% for the duration of the extraction. The
status text indicator displays what file part it is currently
processing, but that is the only thing that actually works.

I do not know how the RAR file-format works, but I suspect that there is
a simply solution for this. Either the lead RAR file's header contains
information about the size of the archive, or you can scan the directory
for all .rar files of the same name as the given archive - this will
give you the maximum number of files. Use this in combination with the
knowledge of which file you're on and then you can get a more accurate
progress bar. AKA 1/10 -> 10%, 2/10 -> 20%, etc.
