I left out something important!
The way you posted it, if someone doesn't get one or more of the 136
parts, there is no way to recover any of the file. That's why it's
recommended that when you create a .rar file that you break it down as
well into rar parts.
Depending on the version of winrar, you should end up with a series of
files to be posted, with a set of extensions like one of these:
filename.rar
filename.r00
filename.r01 etc.
or
filename.rar.001
filename.rar.002
filename.rar.003 etc.
or
filename.part1.rar
filename.part2.rar
filename.part3.rar
etc.
That way, if a post is incomplete, it's easy to repost just the failed
rar part.
Again, for whatever reasons, some people prefer one version over
another. My preference in this case is for the latest version, which
produces the partx kind of filename, because ALL the parts have the
.rar extension and are readily recognized by operating systems and people.
