Thanks for your input Thumper.
It has been a while since I have made any revisions in that file.
I'm actually now using Autorarpar to generate rar and par files for my
posts. It also provides a simple 1 step process to split and generate
par files.
Autorarpar is available here:
https://www.binaries4all.com/autorarpar/
And is also freeware.
I've stuck with rar(good, bad or indifferent) out of tradition.
Like you, I've found no advantage to compression.

I agree with you on the importance of a thumbnail preview.
Simple to do and of value to the downloader and I love Video
Thumbnails Maker. Simple to use and very effective.

Again, thanks for your input and posts.

EG.
