Ive searched for it before but found no useful info. So I thought i'd ask here.

i think it's to prevent people from making the posts too wide
you can attatch txt files though, i had to when i tried to post a long command line on here once

SingaBoiy
02-08-2005, 03:46 AM
And how do I do that?

Vargas
02-08-2005, 03:52 AM
i didn't understand the question :no:

Im alittle lost now.

Im just trying to extract the video from these .txt that have been posted on usenet.

I do believe all movies on newsgroups are posted as .txt attachments. You need to download the files with a news reader, and the news reader will decode them from the text files... Try Grabit, RealitY has a nice tutorial --->Here<--- (http://www.filesharingtalk.com/vb3/t69159-.html)

So they are just, not decoding?

Appearantly. Its weird. The other 70+ GB I got from that group all decoded to rar. I am pretty sure it is the poster's fault. There has got to be a way to decode it.

Look at my first to see what the file contained.

Looking at the filename you can see it has two different extentions

"stargate atlantis 1x04 thirty-eight minutes.7z.001"
.7z (7zip) and .001


What I think your options are is to remove the .001 from the filename and see if it turns the text-files into .7z or .rar.
If so,you know what to do next ;)

.001 files can be joined with MasterSplitter (http://www.tomasoft.com/) or HJSplit (http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/) (this one's free)

But I'm almost certain that option number one will do the trick.

If there are more than 100 of these on the dl it may be that youve gotten the parts of the parts sorta speak which may be due to botched post. As an example a dvd contains 90 or so rars where each one of those rars has lets say 27 parts each. The reader pieces the 27 parts to 1 rar each so you only see the 90. However if you looked at the same post with Outlook for example youde see thousands of text files. Occasionally a botched post will have the text files...

SingaBoiy
02-08-2005, 05:27 AM
I can understand occasionally but I now have about 200 of these just from that group. And only certain posts. And all that are in that post. Seems very unlikely.

Renaming doesnt work. Im still googling.

Filliz
02-08-2005, 05:28 AM
Have you tried donloading and installing one of the tools I suggested?
Could be that the textfiles will change into files that can be joined with one of those tools.

Just a thought.

I just used 7-Zip, it worked with renaming, when I renamed and tried to extract to WinRAR it didnt work. About to try extracting.

Good.
I was about to dl one of the files and try it out myself. :D

RealitY
02-08-2005, 05:35 AM
And all that are in that post.
That was my point when it is a crap post all the files will be like that...

SingaBoiy
02-08-2005, 05:48 AM
Nope, not working :( Ill keep trying

Filliz

You can always redownload the episode from another newsgroup :P
You probably got your copy from alt.binaries.stargatesg-1 or alt.binaries.stargate-sg1,so don't bother with those files anymore.

Try the one that is posted in alt.binaries.mpeg

SingaBoiy
02-08-2005, 06:13 AM
Does that have older episodes too? Im trying to get them all :shifty: I prefer xvid too

Im almost done too :D

02-08-2005, 08:28 AM
Ehh... I give up on these. Just gonna find alternate files in the same server. I updated so there are some new ones :)

Maybe try a standalone decoder? yEnc32 (http://www.yenc32.com/download.php)
Guide (http://www.yenc32.com/oeusers.php) You should only need to use #8 and on, with this guide I believe.

Yenc will decode them for you, its what people use to post.
