how do i do that then ^ ? im a newbie and have no idea

thanks for any help

wher abouts should i be looking?

You can get the headers by updating the group in the program you use for newsgroups. You may just have to get some more pars. Have you even tried using the pars yet. The par2 just checks the files as you also need the actual pars for the repair. I have no clue what version you have so not sure which you would need.

As a last resort you can also try to get the missing or corrupted rar files on IRC, a good guide on how to do this can be found at How To Get Missing Rars For An Incomplete Archive.

However if this does not work, try getting your missing rars through IRC.
There is a guide to do this: HERE
