I'd argue this is a better solution

Anyways, I solved my issues, it appears the files being extracted were simply too small (1-2kb) and something just went wrong.
I played around a bit and managed to reach a correct extraction:
Code:
FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) extracting archive: MASQUERADE-Data_01.MSQ
Extracting 41 files, 5,071,054,255 bytes. Processed 2.6%
Extracted 41 files, 1,955,615,101 => 5,071,054,255 bytes. Ratio 38.56%
Extraction time: cpu 28.59 sec/real 158.83 sec = 18%. Speed 31.93 mB/s
All OK
