The Quick and Dirty Guide to Uploading to Usenet

[LastSurvivor]

Thanks guys for all your assistance It was a DVD9 file and although it is still saying that "warning" again, even after using QuickPar again and making sure I'm following Neg's advice. Anyways, all looks good to go so have started uploading Smallville Destiny Part 1. I'll let you know how I get on

Well, I just don't seem to have any luck when it comes to this Usenet lark. After following the guide as closely as I can, and camelpost finishing posting the RAR files, Par files, NFO and SFV, I then try to download the eidt in SABnzdb and it seems like to can't find the files at all.

The first time it came back with none of the files available and on second attempt, SABnzdb stated "Out of server's retention".

I believe I am cursed! lol.

oooo...oooo... hang on... after using binsearch to make sure the files were up, I have created a new NZB and now it appears to be fine.... downloading now, so let's keep our fingers crossed

Yeah according to Binsearch DVD1 looks like it uploaded fine.

Yep, you're spot on Neg... disc 1 downloaded fine, so am now uploading Part 2. Thanks again for all your help people.

Okay, just tried to upload Part 2 of Smallville Destiny, and it appears fine "except", when searching on BinSearch one of the PAR2 files seems incomplete... says : "S_Destiny_part_2_NTSC_DL.vol272+18.PAR2" yEnc (1/146)" (incomplete 114/146).

Now, will this harm the download at all? I'm attempting to download at the moment, but am I right in assuming that this particular incomplete PAR2 file would deny a PAR2 repair attempt if somebody needed to do so at any stage?

I think the PAR2 file should still work properly but it'll just be short x number of blocks so it won't rebuild quite as much as it should.

unlikely it will matter.

nOm is right. Last Survivor, incomplete files never harm a download. (If the incompletes are rars, one can decode them to access the blocks.)
