DAMN, JimB0sss!!!!!
You really know how to make an Egyptian Goddess feel guilty!!!!!
(I had no idea that this was your first post!!!)
Well, the only thing I can say (that most of us would agree with) is
that you have to set your yEnc line setting.
Please ignore all of my criticism's to this point!
PowerPost comes with a very old setting of 1950 yEnc lines. (From 2004)
For years now, many posters have been using ~8000 yEnc lines. (It was
actually a bit below that, since 8000 yEnc = 1024 KB which was a
'barrier', so you will still often see 7500-7800 yEnc lines, because we
had to go a bit below that barrier.)
This is no longer the case, especially after the freebie NSPs that were
provided by the ISPs were shut down.
Please finish your post 'as-is'.
Next time, though, since it looks like you are using Astraweb, you may
wish to raise that 1950 yEnc to 10000 yEnc lines.
This setting appears in _two_places. It also needs to be set in QuickPar
<Options>.
Also, your part size could be increased as the result of that setting.
This would occur in WinRAR <Options> <Settings> <Compression> <Create
Default>.
Set 'Compression Method' to 'Store', 'Split to Volumes' to '128000000',
and only tick the 'Put Recovery Record' & 'Test Archive Files' boxes.
Also, then go to the <Advanced> tab and raise the 'Recovery Record' from
1% to 2%.
Click OK.
I suppose there will be some other advice about all of this, but that's
just the way Usenet is!
Sorry about my criticism!
Isis
