Figured it out. :)
If you post a question asking for help, and solve the problem yourself - don't edit the post... explain what you did to solve your problem.
I know everything...others don't. :snooty:
Peace, brotherdoobie

Anyway, I didn't figure it out. Still don't know how to do it. But did figure out the files I was downloading were too old, that's why so many pieces were missing, okay?
Sheesh... get mad if I remove a post (Since I'm not allowed to delete it) yet won't help me in the first place? Seems a tad hypocritical to me, especially since you claim to know everything....
Your problem is... that you are using QuickParse to repair rar files.
Try Quickpar, instead.

If your still having problems; read this guide.

It IS Quick Par, sorry, I misspoke.
And they weren't rar files - which was the other problem :)
So... Is everything working, now. What type of files were they, btw?
Peace, brotherdoobie
Actually, I found out the files were all too old so I had a TON of missing pieces so I threw everything out and am starting again, setting newsleecher to retrieve files no older than 100 days since its retention time is 102 days.
I don't remember what kind of files they were but to be missing 500 pieces here and 400 there, I just chucked everything :)
Once these get down, I'll try again :)
Ah... you were using your ISPs news server. So, you went with a paid server
for the retention times. (you're catching on, lad) :)

LOL Yup!!! :) I went to news.usenetserver.com as recommended by one of the folks here. :D
I'm an avid torrent user so finally switching to newsgroups (which I know I should have done long ago!!! LOL :rolleyes: :whistling ) and there's a lot of quirks and learning involved, I'm finding :w00t: Thank goodness for the guides on here, etc. They're very helpful!! :thumbsup: :D
By the way, I'm a lass not a lad :lol: :)

I'm glad to see you're using newsgroups. (they're the cat's meow)

Well, I've downloaded a few things using newsgroups and a ton using uTorrent and newsgroups is a lot slower. The speed is amazing but it seems to take forever to download things using newsgroups. Maybe it matters if you're using a posted nzb? You don't download as much "stuff" you don't need? 'Cause the only ones I've downloaded from newsgroups so far were things I found using search using newsleecher.Quote:
