Hi guys,I figured out how to get a Usenet download to work,I can see like the rar files,etc... but I can also see some .PAR2 files files too between the cd's(I'm talking about The Movies)
so the normal files are like: themoviecd1.rXX
But the "weird files" are in this structure:themoviecd1.vol00+01.PAR2
These files have another size than the normal files...
If I complete my download,can I do the same as I would do for an FTP/HTTP download,just unrar(or do I need to do something with those extra files?
THX Twisted Evil

EDIT:And I just finished downloading the first cd and some files(actually most)are not recognised by winrar,the filesize also varies and when I use the sfv to check the files,32 are bad and 18 are good Sad Any help...

par2 files are for recovering damaged files -- so no damaged files means you don't need them.

explained here:
http://www.slyck.com/ng.php?page=6

you'll want quickpar as well: http://www.quickpar.org.uk/Download.htm

sounds like you have some damaged files (don't worry, it's common) .. so install quickpar, run it and see what happens.

Thx,the problem with my download is:I need more blocks there are not enough .par2 files:
I don't know if I can ask this here but are there sites where you can download the .par2 files seperately?
I mean the uploader hasn't added all .par2 files to recover the first cd(and prolly 2nd and
3rd too)
Any help would really be appreciated.

no, if you don't have enough par2 blocks then you can't recover. par2 files are created and posted by the original poster (usually they post anywhere from 5-20% of the original data)

sounds like you aren't using a premium newsserver if you have so many incompletes.

I'd recommend newshosting.com

try requestiong aditional pars and downloading as many incompletes as possible. still if you see more than 50% of it incomplete it's pretty pointless downloading in the first place.

if you are using a premium newsserver you don't have to worry about incompletes ever.

I really doubt that you'll get reposts of more pars, since most people use decent news servers and the poster knows this.

I just checked. It's 100% complete on newshosting.

K thx for the help,I'm not planning on registering to a paysite (yet),so there is no possibility that the other files will be uploaded today/tomorrow by the uploader(some of the files say for example 16 of 17 parts in Newsleecher...Does that mean the uploader hasn't completed the uploading?

no, it means it's incomplete on your server.

honestly, with nzb files being so popular, most people never get headers therefore nobody will read your request.

I dont know about you but I rarely use nzb files so there is always a chance somone will read your req, though dont go begging and acting childish...if worst comes to worst upload a few and ask for the fills, help others and im sure others will help you.

only post fills if someone else is requesting them.

If his server is so bad, the extra par files will be incomplete also. Just a waste of time, space.
Get an extra newsserver, can be free. Some good (free) server avaliable (that allow acces cause of bugs Wink, lot's of good free newsservers via ipv6 (if you know how that works).

Anyway here's a legal free newsserver, limit is 1 gig however per month, still would be enough for 1/2 weeks if you use it as fill server.
