To clarify authenticity and recovery options are available in WinRAR
but TMK it isn't able to make use of .par2 files. A person would want
QuickPar to first rejoin the .rar volumes back to a single 4.7GB (!!)
.rar, and then use WinRAR or it's equivalent to unpack the archive.
I'd be interested to know if something has changed.


No, you don't need the .par files, nor do you need to rebuild it into
one giant .RAR files. Just (assuming you want to burn the bandwidth)
d/l all the parts, right-click on part1, and select "Extract files."

I agree that more than one .RAR would have been more workable. That's
one big puppy.

I was missing 15 parts. Quickpar ran through it and recreated those
parts using the pars. It did NOT create a huge rar file.


I may have caused confusion when I said 'stitch together' the .rars. WinRAR
doesn't generate a single huge .rar, it just uses the .par info to replace
the bad/missing .rars and then decodes the whole thing.

I don't see what the moaning and groaning is about. I set a filter in my
newsreader which would look for binary data in any post with 'NASA Shuttle
Pics' in it, download that binary data to a folder named 'NASA Shuttle Pics',
and delete the post when done. I checked the folder periodically until I saw
a bunch of .pars in there, then I double-clicked on one of them and MacPAR
deLuxe launched, verified the .pars, assembled the .rars, fixed a few
corrupt/missing .rars, verified the .rars, and decoded the result. I've spent
more time typing up this post to this point than I did to download the Very
Large Number of excellent quality pix. (Thanks, J3, and ignore the
nay-sayers. They have no clue what they're talking about.)

IMHO a proper newsreader does proper filtering; Hogwasher, the newsreader I
use on Macs, for example can filter on _any_ header, can filter for binaries
or text, can generate a folder, save binaries (or text) to that folder, and
do various other things

Can it filter on body? That's something I've only seen Opera do,
which is very useful.
