Okay, good. I did an initial RAR of 100 but I'll do another at 128.
Thanks for telling me about the yEnc line size, too. I did a test at
the default setting of 3,000 but I'll do another at 10,000 or so.
It's no problem using the precise settings, but I'm assuming nobody
will really quibble much if I use the "rounded off" ones.
And regarding a PAR set: What is the recommended Redundancy setting?
My test was done with 10%, which generated 241 blocks. This would
lead to a maximum of five recoverable files. Should it be higher?
Lower?
Thanks!
