I use BinSearch all the time, but I never knew about this. I'll try
to remember to add "double quotes" around that parameter.

It was me. I forgot. I just made the adjustment.

>That seems to be the range I often see on the groups.
I have to admit, I'm not sure I fully understand this. But I'm trying.
I adjusted Quick Par so that the yEnc line count is 10,000. Now, I go
into the main screen and set the Block Allocation to its maximum, by
sliding it to the far right.
I set the redundancy to 3.56%. I chose that number because it was the
lowest setting I could get that was above 127 blocks.
So, now the yEnc line count is 10,000, the source block count is
3,699...the redundancy is 3.56%, recovery blocks are 132, 8 recovery
files. I set the recovery file size to Variable/Power of 2.
Are these better settings? I'm not going to repost the test package
with revised PARs. But if you say these settings are better, then
I'll use them (or settings as close as possible) the next time I post
something.
But if that's all I have to adjust, then I'd say we're probably good
to go. Do you agree?
Thanks again. Smeggy
