couple or do I have to download huge amounts. I have no idea.

One of the first hits i found on Google...


WinRAR:

QuickPar:

Even though all of the posts have not yet propagated to my newsserver,
I had enough PARs to repair and have all the photos and drawings.
Excellent post J3!

I usually only lurk here (been lurking here off and on since about
1997), but decided to post as a counter to all the recent whining...

Thanks Robert. I have no problem with .rar and yEnc. I regularly use both.
But PAR, Vol and parts will take more thought.

I don't think it will work for me. For instance there is a file:

NASA Project Mercury Pics.part07.rar (19/35)
and file
NASA Project Mercury Pics.part07.rar (21/35)

There are the only 2 files for "part07". So it seems that my ISP has only
captured 2 of the 35 component slices. From your links, PAR files may help,
but I suspect PAR won't help if 33 out of 35 are missing on my ISP's
newsserver.


For every "partxx" there are at most 4 of the 35 or 36.
