I use the newsgroups (Usenet) extensively. And I have come to the conclusion that if someone’s RAR posts are incomplete, their PAR posts are usually off kilter too. I find that it is generally a waste of time downloading incomplete RAR files. That’s why I use the AndroidNews from http://www.sb-software.com/android/ as this program shows me if a RAR series is incomplete and I can just ignore it. Even with high speed 9mbps connection, it still take half an hour for some large programs to download. And trying to fiddle with RAR/PAR recovery afterwards is really really really annoying :(

i am with mewshosting.com 100 days retention and just about all my download have missing or incomplete rars, my latest download (6.80gb) had incomplete in every rar and all par2 were damaged, i had to bin the lot as i had 970 missing blocks, oh, and the files were only up 42 days.
So much for paying a premium sever when you hagve to bin about half of your downloads, a waste of time and a waste of my money.
forgot to mention when using binsearch it shows all files are there and i have 2 downloaders, Grabit and Newsleecher so i doubt that both the downloaders are faulty.

Par2 Files Explained
I sort of understand the use of QuickPar but, using your example above, how do you now create the .avi file so you can view it?

Martin says, April 25th, 2008   

Chris the Par files are only there to assure file integrity. You unpack the files normally with an unpacker of your choice.
