Excellent!
Seeing all parts seems a bit tedious, but when stuff arrives like this
one did, you really have to see for yourself what is going on and not
rely on your server and Agent to have to sort the mess!

That would be a correct assumption! Just because some in the group get
them, doesn't mean the post was a good one.
Servers and Agent will turn themselves inside out to try and retrieve
and compile a bad post. This does not turn a sow's ear into a silk
purse for everyone!

Wouldn't matter if you were! :-)
This is a sharing environment. Feel free to ask, feel free to offer.
The choice is yours.
Learning to post is perhaps the hardest part for the Ladies in this
group. Computer Science doesn't come easy to everyone. Some of the
most prolific posters haven't got a clue how to post so everyone gets
to enjoy the experience.
Hell... Hopper nearly pulled all my hair out (after He finished
tearing His out, /laff) trying to teach me how to post!
Apparently I ask a lot of questions nobody had thought of before...
/grin

And this is where bulk posting is just rude.
There are five sets in that post, and you only find that out when you
download it (if you can get it).
It's a bit rough, (a waste of time and money) if you already have four
of the five posted, when it is a simple thing to post them separately
and let people choose what they want.
Posting them separately also gives the best chance of success on all
servers.
At a guess, I'm thinking your server flagged the original post as
spam, causing the "corrupt" message. It's a guess.

Nah worries.
Don't be afraid to ask about a post like that.
These files were unsuccesfully posted a while back by someone else who
is new to posting. The rars were split (as I have done) but they
didn't post the second part (.r00/rxx) on most of them.../grin
So most of them fell over with error messages (incomplete).
Now Feebs posts them all in one go and they still don't arrive for
everyone. By the time all ways of posting badly are displayed, it
becomes a learning lesson for everyone :-)
There are a million ways to screw over a post... you see them all here
in ABCP.... /chortle
Never a dull moment!
Pixie :-))
