After you have download all RAR files and the first PAR2 file, open the PAR2 file to verify the downloaded files. QuickPar will start and this might be the result:

As you can see two RAR files are incomplete (Freeware Collection.part6.rar and Freeware Collection.part7.rar). The bar shows us that we need to acquire 14 more blocks before we can repair the downloaded files. Usually a couple of PAR2 files are posted together with the RAR files (in this case we've already downloaded 10 blocks) but if there aren't enough PAR2 blocks available, we have to ask the poster to create and upload more blocks. This means that you don't have to tell the poster which files are missing or incomplete, you can just say how many blocks you need.
The 'Monitor' functionality can be very handy: when you keep QuickPar activated while downloading, it will check the download directory and verify the newly downloaded files immediately. When you activate 'AutoRepair', QuickPar will start repairing as soon as enough PAR2 blocks are downloaded.
When you have downloaded enough blocks, hit the 'Repair' button to start repairing.

After QuickPar is finished, the result will be:

You need to fix the images.
I suspect the site doesn't allow hot-linking.
Re: Repairing RAR's with PARS and Quickpar
You do not have to change the preferred block size if you never create PAR2 files yourself.
If you set the preferred block size for yEnc to 5.000 lines. You need to change the number of lines in yEnc to 5.000
(CTRL+P -> Program -> Default Max Lines Per Part)
Re: Repairing RAR's with PARS and Quickpar
hey guys....a quick question and please be gentle with me.....i,m a noob with newsbin....i recently downloaded nacho libre,and it was missing parts so i can not unzip the rar files....so i downloaded quickpar.....is there anyway i can fix it rather than downloading the thing all over again....as i was told you have to have quickpar running WHILE you download....any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
Re: Repairing RAR's with PARS and Quickpar
Just install QuickPar and the run the PAR2 file, It will say how may par files you need. Get those and run that par file again. Then if you have enough it will repair the files and done.
Re: Repairing RAR's with PARS and Quickpar
I suggest that whenever you download anything download all the par2 files at the same time, that will save a lot of hassles later, and it is well worth the bandwidth.
Another thing I have noticed, you may not have enough blocks to make the repair even after you have checked all the par2 files. However, take a look and see if any of your par2 files are classified as "incomplete downloads", if so click the open button and add them. It seems quickpar doesn't look at the incomplete par2 files, but I have successfully repaired several files that didn't have enough blocks, but manually adding in the incomplete par2 files.
Hopes this helps, as these par2 files make such a difference in adding to your overall success downloading from newsgroups.
Cheers!
