The ultimate "Par n Rar" utility:

PAR BUDDY
http://www.parbuddy.dk/Default.htm

Ultimate because if you replace the par.exe in the ParBuddy directory by the par.exe AND the dll found in the following zip:
par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20080116-win32.zip
http://chuchusoft.com/par2_tbb/index.html

you have a perfect multithreaded tool ( It uses winrar 3.70 library too) !

Read the .txt cause it's interesting and don't forget to donate because this software is going to spare you a lot of time:

Okay.. this might be a stupid question, me being new to the whole usenet formus and such.. but here it goes: I've been trying to download TTSCC Disc 2 (Terminator) and it's missing 14 files but I only need 218 blocks:

1. How do I contact the poster?
2. I saw it on searching on Newzbin but my membership is with easynews how can I tell if it's the same download with the 14 missing files?
3. I'm not quite sure if I understand the process.. there are sites for finding the files then there are sites for actually downloading the files?

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Okay.. another problem...
I used quickpar to repair one of my downloads, it states that everything is there at at 100% but when I try to extract with winrar, it's still asking me for the missing files... What do I do?

This wasn't the thread for them questions, you should have started a new topic.

1. You don't, you post a fill request, or a request for more par files, in the group you got it from.

2. Because they will be posted to the same group at the same time as where you got them from in the first place, then they will be the same set you are looking for, sometimes they can be posted to different groups on different days and they will still belong to the same set, just because you found them via an alternative method doesn't mean they are different, they all search the same set of files so you can be confident you found what you was looking for.

3. Yes, usenet search index sites catalogues what is on usenet, you don't need a site to download the files, you need a client that can access usenet via your usenet provider (giganews, newsdemon, newshosting are paid for providers), you can however find sites that use files (newzbin files) that have done all the hard work for you by putting all the files into 1 index file that you then import into your client (newsleecher, newsbin etc) and it then pulls the files from usenet for you.

4. Ask if others are having the same problem.
