Re: Talk to me about EasyNews
Sometimes people split files apart with software other than winrar. files with 001, 002, etc... at the end will not always extract using winrar. HJ Split should be able to rejoin any posts with the 3 digit number extensions...

You will also benefit by downloading VLC media player. VLC uses its own internal codecs and eliminates a lot of the hassles of having to manually find and install codecs for windows media player. VLC is also able to play partial files and files that are 'inside' compressed formats. What that means is you can often view the contents of a part of an archive.
Install VLC then right click that 001 file and select open with, then chose VLC from the list. You have a pretty good chance it will play the video section that is inside the file you have.
BTW
50 MB part files will ALWAYS indicate the complete post is multiple gigs, such as a DVD image or HDTV stream. If you are going to download full DVD's you DEFINITELY want to get that DVD burner  . |

|  Thanks Waldo and Bark! Waldo, that VLC player is cool and worked on that file! I'm discovering what's out there and its a bit overwhelming. Also, since I already pay for Verizon, I used Outlook to sign up for Verizon's newsgroups (using this site's Verizon FAQ). I guess the retention is less there? Anyway its amazing that there are like 35,000 newsgroup possibilities there. I'm kinda fired up at all the possibilities here...I saw one for my kids that has old games and stuff (I recently refurbed an old Dell for them to play with/learn on).
Newegg will definitely be getting an order today . I think I need more HD too  .
Bark - am I to interpret that as a good thing or not? Sounds like it is, I just want to make sure I understand. I read about reconstructing rar files using par files (with SmartPar), and now par2 with QuickPar. Amazing how it all comes back to 1s and 0s.
Thanks again guys! Keep it coming if you feel so moved!

| dkimpel there are program out there that will repair and extact the files for you, so you never have to do it, like SABnzbd.
Its free.
P.S. I know easynews does this now on the fly with some files but not all files and easynews is very expensive if you download a lot.
I wish easynews had unlimited sometimes or at least block accounts.
