And THIS is where it goes caca!
Assuming, of course, that you meant to hit an 8 insteada a 4... ;o)
712 and 814 are indeed bad. BUTTT!! 713 thru 813 *all* have exactly
this same crc value: 54c9a707. They're all absolutely identical files,
and they're *not* mpeg movie parts!
I dunno what the pfffffffttttt they are, and I haven't pursued it yet,
but I d/l'ed a few samples to verify it myself. Yep, they're
identical, just with different names. In the process, I also noticed
that prior to and following this range, Priapus' parts were all
varying in the range of 4065 to 4069 lines, typical of 512,000 byte
yEnc files. Every single one of the parts from 713 thru 813 is exactly
4004 lines!
Aside from other questions I've caught about probs and sticks and
hangups with the vid, there is NO WAY IN HELL anyone who's been
d/l'ing this copy will get it to play past part 712. The next 50 mb
aren't even a movie.
Now... I think it might be interesting for someone to point this out
to Priapus. I caught his reply in an earlier thread where he said,
the size of a file easily by himself. 500kb parts have the size of?
right - 500kb and if not, something is simply wrong."
I pointed out the possibilities of corruptions even when sizes were
right, and how crc's and pars can catch 'em, and he never replied. I
suspect he ignored me. Now may be a very good time to educate him. He
just posted 101 parts that're exactly 500kb that, if he d/l'ed them
himself, he *could not* join into a playable movie. It's worth a shot.
If he sees that something really *did* go wrong, he might repost the
right parts.
Meanwhile, I'll start getting replacement parts ready for posting.
It's a long list, and it's gonna take a while, but we *will* get it
fixed.
Take care, and see ya.
