Thanks for the amplified discussion. I think that perhaps more folk
would post if the how-to were explained. What I was bothered by was
the tedious operation with QuickPar in making pars and splits - one by
one and relatively slow. MultiPar does it in one line using multiple
CPU threads and is way faster helping to automate the process.
I observe Wink using QuickPar and know his effort would be helped by
better tools.
The amazing thing is after I discovered the QuickPar split method I
stopped using RAR splits despite the internal checking of split RAR.
Live and learn as we watch Usenet die away in favor of low quality
Tube sites with endless adverts along with sometimes nasty pops.
