It's a newsgroup, like the one you're posting in. Forte' Free Agent will work just fine for downloading, but the full version makes it a lot easier.
alt.binaries.multimedia.cartoons, sorry in RM format, There is a Divx floating about on there
Look for the name "CaptProton" "Happy Noodle Boy(aka Mr. Socially Inept)" wrote in message news:[email]...
The free one is pretty easy, just right click and download... What's different in the full one?
If I remember correctly the free one didn't order things nicely or combine the parts... I used it for a week and thought it was too much of a headache. Agent roxors.....
Agen't doesn't organize posts very well. I only use it once in awhile.
I use NewsShark to DL binaries mostly "Happy Noodle Boy(aka Mr. Socially Inept)" wrote in message news:[email]...
It doesn't group them, but all you have to do is find one message go to download that and it will get the rest automatically.
and it checks to see if they're all there "Craig" wrote in message news:[email]...

If you can think of a better way to post a large file in a news group, by all means, suggest one.

PAR files are the single greatest creation in the history of Binaries in the newsgroups.

What about Zip files?

With RAR you can split it up into a bunch of little files of any size you want... So you can make a 200MB file into twenty 10MB files if you wanted. Zipping a video file won't do anything to make it smaller (they're already pretty compressed), plus you can't have a file that big in one post.

Zip is fine for most applications, but not for newsgroups. As craig said, it allows you to split the archive up into smaller blocks.
This is important because if one section of a file doesn't propagate across the news-servers, it means that all the person has to do is repost a single rar file (or rebuild it using pars), instead of an entire episode. And given the state of news-servers, it's *VERY* unlikely that you could post a 140Mb zip file in one post, and actually have it make it intact to just about anyone.

I just downloaded the most recent episode, there were 22 RAR files then 3 PAR files... what are the PARs?
use a prog called Mirror to rebuild bad ones "Craig" wrote in message news:[email]...

repost a
episode.

Well with PowerPost, this isn't really a problem is it? I still prefer .rars, but that thought just came to me because of this discussion. PowerPost lets you repost specific parts, so it would be easy to fill. The only other reason you would really need .rars or .zips was to post warez where there are a bunch of files included in directories and such.
Zips don't compress the file very well, plus making mlti-zips is a PITA to do wrote in message news:3c4e5d4b.46068284@nntp...
Binaries
files
They compress it just fine, but movies are already compressed, so there's nothing left to do. Since ZIP is lossless compression, it can't make the files any smaller (ie, degrade the quality).
