Thaat's funny, I have only posted 268 files over the last 2 days.

It is a long time since I read a binary group's charter, but IIRC, it is
customary to restrict floods to 250 posts per group per day. I have over 8,300
headers from you in the space of a day. Some are reposts, e.g. part 31 was
posted twice -- 17 seconds apart, from the header information.

I am glad Giganews does not count headers in the bandwidth I buy.

I will look ing that

You need to get powerpost. Just give it a folder full of jpegs and
it'll upload them.

He's posted under 300 files in two-three days. It's just that each of the
files is split into 30+ parts. A proper newsreader (Hogwasher or MTNW on
Macs, or Forte Agent on Windows, for example) can be configured to
automatically grab each part, download it, and stitch it into one file.

Outlook Express is, unfortunately, not a proper newsreader. It cannot do this
automatically, and indeed it takes some effort to do it at all with MSOE.

This leaves you with two options:

1 block the posts in question so that you never see them and their headers
don't show in your system.

2 get a proper newsreader.

Personally, I'd go with (2), which is indeed what I did many years ago when I
found that MSOE was totally inadequate for my purposes, both as an email
client and as a newsreader. However, it's your choice.

That's about what I thought. Those of us using real newsreaders can see the
_files_, not the _parts_ of the files. At the current time 36 files appear to
be either corrupt or incomplete. If there are enough .pars this shouldn't be
a problem, but if not, I may request a few reposts.

Third choice, go to the NASA website and download there.....less hassle and you don't need PARS to repair the 32 broken files.  ))

And again, what's the big hurry having to post all of these at once?  Oh I think J3 answered that, HE does not want the hassle...lol

Wow.

Flooding AND top-posting.

He asked before he flooded. Everyone said go ahead. The only error
he made was using rar.

A man spoke frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"
"Is this her first child?" the doctor asked.
"No, you idiot!" the man shouted. "This is her husband!"

If you spin oriental folk till they are dizzy, do they become disoriented?

Rars are useful when you're posting huge files like DVDs which would
split into several hundred articles and be useless if one went
missing. But with small files such as jpegs, I don't really see any
benefit.
