Ah, yes, you're right, I didn't remember that little detail. What I
usually do in these cases is grep the cache directory for the name of
the file that is incomplete, and yydecode -b to get the file. For
instance, if the filename was xpto.rar, I'd do:

grep -l "xpto.rar"|xargs yydecode -b -D /output/path
