Obviously, this being 'the internet', one can (take/leave/forget/take issue/put me on a death list) on these comments.
1. Yes, put in a decent number of pars, but then CHECK/VERIFY both the rar AND
the PAR creation. I'm still running into quite a number of par2 sets that aren't
associated with the rar's they are packed with, and therefore don't 'fix' a thing.
Both these check routines only take a few seconds, yet are skipped by too many posters.
2. What's up with all the 'REMUX' posts? It might be one thing if it's to strip out
audio tracks or extras that bring the posts down to a BD25 sizing or such, but way too
many are stripping out (perhaps) a couple of Gigabytes, where posting the full BD50
and letting folks do what they want with it makes real sense. The savings in size
in a lot of these makes no sense. tsMuxr is easy to use, and takes seconds to do
what one wants; let the downloader decide!
And, there are LOTS of posts that don't even list that they are REMUX but have been
'stripped' of anything other than the 'main movie'. I guess thanks for nothing.
3. Whatever happened to posting the NZB of what you just posted? Yes, the old
'Power Post' kinda did this automatically, but with lots of folks now using JBinUp or
other programs, they skip this 'step'. One can't rely on what Binsearch or NZBIndex
collect to 'post generate' the nzb, as they get 'skips' and such just like the
news-servers!
POST the NZB! This kinda also goes for a NFO, but I guess that many don't have the
time (or effort) to do that.
4. Watch your block size and part size! Changing the block size to something really large
(or small as in number of blocks) and setting your rar part size to something larger than,
say, 250MB, is a recipe for disaster. It does no good to ramp things toward the outsize,
it makes the downloading harder (not easier) and, again, may make things prone to more
failures.
I'm sure there are lots of other issues out there, but if one is taking the time, effort, and
cost of posting, then I would think that a bit of expended brain power would be appreciated.
