WTF is up with posting text files?

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...

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.

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.

You can always redownload the episode from another newsgroup

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
