Par Recovery What's Your Longest Time?

[DasFox]

Well after many years of using Usenet I didn't think there could be a recovery that took 34mins, I didn't think most Pars uploaded to Usenet for recovery would cover this much data. Anyhow this happens to be my biggest recovery to date.

Have a look:

To tell you the truth, I do have quick par, but I have not been very good at knowing how to use it. LOL!

I hate when lets say the file is 30 parts and 6 par files (example, w/e) and so they upload 24 parts and 6 par files, forcing a reconstruction. Sorta defeats the purpose, am I right folks?

[meyou123]

Yep, I think that it is stupid to not include all the files and do it on purpose... opposed to the files just being corrupt or have some other problem.....If they are corrupt, that is one thing but to make someone go through the trouble of putting them together with a reconstruction when all that is wrong is parts are missing that someone did not put there on purpose is dumb.

I've used Usenet for many years, I have never seen this to be the case at all. If something like that happens then the server crapped, the upload went bad, or getting them completed on your end went wrong.

All in all I'd have to say problems like this, if you have a good Usenet account are not that often.

silentscream COOL I've never seen AutoUnpack before.

I'll have to give it a go. :icon_salu

By the way are there any other apps out there like it, or it's the only one?

THANKS

Well I can't say using Quickpar and just doing it this old way is all that much work, LOL

[silentscream]

it is when u have just downed about 60 gb of stuff overnight

auto unpacker does it all for u in the background on the fly

i couldnt do without it

I can see this when you have many different types of things you have download sitting in different directories, then you just place it on the Main parent download directory and it catches everything below it and does its thing, yes then this is really nice.

I typically only get one or two things at a time, so for that it's not that big a deal.

Also I wonder if it does unrar and do the par checks as fast as Winrar and Quickpar do by themselves, instead of them going through this interface, meaning I wonder if there could be a bit of a slow down with them being used this way, or it doesn't effect the speed at all.

OH and I WISH the guy who developed this thing would get rid of that PayPal button on the software and just leave that on the site.

I've never seen one piece of software with a PayPal donate button on it, personally I don't like that.

[DasFox]

I made a hacked See and Be AutoUnpacked.

I didn't like the PayPal button, so I put an image in place of it, but the image is still the button.

If anyone wants this let me know and I'll upload it.

Pars are a life saviour. Sometimes depending on the amount of data to be recovered it can take a while. My Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz @ 3.2Ghz and my SATA II HDD really don't take long anymore. It used to take forever to recover data when I was on my P4 3Ghz. I use Quickpar as well.

I regularly used to see quickpar verification and repair times in excess of one hour. Now, I use the PAR tool that comes with SuperNZB and that is MUCH faster. I probably have Quickpar set up wrong, but since I most of my USENET downloads using NZB files, I don't need Quickpar much any more.
