Thanks! I didn't know what you meant by Smart or Quick par. I know only
PAR1 or PAR2. The ones you posted first are PAR1, end in P1. The next
ones are PAR2, obviously.
PAR1 works fastest, but with your posts they are not as sure a help.
Turned out that I had 4 files with bad checksums. Also turned out that 2
of the six par(1) files did not download correctly. So they were not
usable. The four remaining were enough, though. It's all fixed up!
With your posts, Barry, PAR2 would be better. They take bloody forever
to work, but there are almost always enough. I rarely have a missing
file, just damaged ones.
Thanks again.
My favorite part of this vid is the ending. :)
