Hello again. The Frank Zappa series repost was almost perfectly perfect,
except for "One Size Fits All"; #04 - Po-Jama People, which fubars on part
8.
Now, it would seem that the PAR set would repair it, but it does NOT, (I'm
using QuickPAR's latest) claiming that "19 more blocks [are] neeeded".
Again, this is a consistent finding through all 3 newsgroups and over
several news servers.
(It's not just me... or may be just me who is discovering it and then
feeding back about it. I notice on the threads, only about 7 responses,
and from their content, I can't help but wonder if their news server and
their news reader are showing a complete file, but when you try to play it,
that's where the error will show up... Not looking for any argumentation
here, just trying to be informative. On Xnews with Astraweb, I show
(19/19) parts uploaded, with the icon also indicating it's complete. The
size renders at 19,062,516 bytes; and it indeed opens to 19 parts.
Attempting to download it, it consistently stalls at part 8, and downloads
a partial 6.83 MB file. Even here, the complete PAR set downloads intact,
yet needs "another 19 blocks" to repair the only corrupt file in the batch.
In the entire batch. Even though I downloaded ALL the PAR sets [into a
separate folder for each album], they all showed each album as "Repair not
needed", so it's impossible to get any comparison why the PAR set for "One
Size Fits All"; "04 - Po-Jama People" is not sufficient to repair the file,
while it shows all the other files as being complete. IOW, 7 of the 19/19
parts come through, which would leave only 12 parts to repair/complete???
Please bear in mind, that this is a unique issue to this set of
circumstances. All other operations are normal and stable here.)
Request you re-up "#04 - Po-Jama People" with its own set of PARs if you
can be so kind and can get around to it.
Thank you very much.
