This is a DVD group. Blu-rays are not DVDs.
Post them in alt.binaries.blu-ray.
Announce them in alt.binaries.blu-ray.d.
The 1.28 MB article size limit of Astraweb is too puny to do the job.
* For a 500 MB binary part, try a part size of 524.291328 MB @ 29898 yEnc lines.
* This will result in (*/137).
The number 137, in addition to being a prime, is very special to our universe.
