Backup provider to fill in holes
Backup provider to fill in holes
Hi gang, total Noob here. I am currently using blocknews and have some old episodes with missing blocks. What would be a good complimentary provider to try to fill these in.
Re: Backup provider to fill in holes
Astraweb and Highwinds cheap blocks. The Highwinds reseller could be Newsgroupdirect.com
Giganews/Supernews don't sell block accounts.
If you are a totally nubular did you know that PAR2 files are used to repair missing pieces?

Total noob, just started last night!! I thought the automated repair process used the PAR2 files, thought that is what repairing meant. If not how do I use them?pobox wrote: Astraweb and Highwinds cheap blocks. The Highwinds reseller could be Newsgroupdirect.com

You might want to download Quickpar (for Windows) so you can repair files manually, and separate from SABnzbd.
Re: Backup provider to fill in holes
I did that and it still could not be repaired. I signed up for newsbin and the NZB's from there were able to complete the files.pobox wrote: You might want to download Quickpar (for Windows) so you can repair files manually, and separate from SABnzbd.
Re: Backup provider to fill in holes
seems like a higher quality NZB was the answer.
