I can accept that reasoning and just learned of smartpar and will be imploying it for corrupted rars. :D
Good plan. SmartPAR is used for newsgroups all the time, because most newsgroup servers don't have good retention. This leads to lots of people requesting a "re-post" of files that they missed. So instead of reposting 1 or 2 files, the PAR files can be used to reconstuct the missing RAR volumes, leaving you with a complete set. Pretty cool eh? B)
