:Thank you for all that you do.
Hi Katie,
I took a look at them in BinSearch as well as here on this group and they show
as 100% complete. That doesn't mean that they ARE still complete after all of
this time, but usually posts don't disintegrate past the point of repairability.
They are dated 11 April 2009. That's over 500 days, but still well within
reasonable expectations.
Questions:
Did you use the NZBs or did you d/l them directly from this group? If you used
the NZBs, please note that one of the ASCII characters in the title is from the
upper 128. Not all NZB grabbers have the upper set, and so they would drop that
character. The one that has 'Magic' in its name has that problem. I know a lot
of Mac users use that one, too.
Ordinarily a misnamed file is no problem, since QuickPar will rename it for you.
To do that, the file must not be damaged, as QuickPar uses the CRC to identify
it. So if a file is misnamed AND damaged, QuickPar will report it as missing.
Then it will ask for enough blocks to repair the entire file, rather than just
an article or two.
Since you can't repair the file manually, you must rename it manually. So check
your d/l to make sure that none of your files are missing the second letter in
the second word. If they are, you must copy the correct character from somewhere
and paste it in. (An ordinary 'u' won't work.)
Another possibility would be to try and d/l the files you need from this group.
You will need to d/l all of the headers first, though.
Let me know if any of this is on the right track.
