quick question on pars and newgroups...

[Jonesy]

I dont understand pars, why does every file i download have a load of pars that just add to the file size of the download, when most of the time i dont need them, sometimes i do need them tho and i run quickpar and it sorts it auto, which is sweet. But why do some files need repairing and some dont???

Thanks

i guess if part of the file gets written over then thats why they aint complete

if you are using newsleecher you can pause the pars except the empty one so you can download them if you need to

ya thats what i have started doing, im using newsbin now as newsleecher started playing up with that node error.
