:Hello.

:I put a test post of Robert Bresson's MOUCHETTE in
:alt.binaries.test.files.  It's a DVD-5 rip with nothing taken out.
:
:If anyone is interested, please feel free to download that test post,
:and let me know if it works.
:
:I'd greatly appreciate any feedback about how I constructed the post.
:Are the RAR files a good size?  Did I post enough PAR files?  Too
:many?  Too few?  Does the NFO file need more information?  Did the
:.NZB file work adequately?
:
:Anything like that.
:
:If the post works for everyone, then I'll consider posting something
:once or twice a week in the alt.binaries.movies.arthouse group.
:
:It took about 5 1/2 hours to upload the test post, and that doesn't
:count the time creating PAR packages, etc., so I don't think I'll be
:doing an upload every day.
:
:To those of you in the Criterion group reading this:  Thanks for
:helping me.  The only DVD-9 uncompressed movies I can find in my
:collection that are from Criterion are Pierrot Le Fou and Tati's
:Trafic.  I'm sure they've already been posted in the Criterion group,
:but I'd like to give back something in exchange for all the things
:I've gotten there recently.  It's the best I can do.

:Thank you all again.

Hi ES,

I won't have time to d/l the whole thing, but from what I can see, it looks
pretty good.

You can click on the link below to see how it looks on BinSearch:

<http://tiny.cc/smeggo

The reason it didn't form a 'collection' is because you forgot the double quotes
around the $F. This is just a BinSearch thing, and it's really their fault for
not being able to figure out the filename w/o those double quotes.

The .PAR2 block sizes are a bit small. I wonder if you remembered to enter the
yEnc Line value into QuickPar <Options>? (Your total number of .PAR2 blocks was
372. I wonder if that was intentional or an artifact of the block size being too
small?) I won't comment on how many blocks I think you should create, but a DVD5
with your PowerPost settings could be anywhere from 127 blocks to 511 blocks.
That seems to be the range I often see on the groups.

I'll let the d/l run a while longer & see if I can think of anything else. Looks
good from here, though.

Isis
