Corrupt download/missing blocks
« on: December 23, 2009, 12:50:07 am »
Hi,

I'm using Astraweb (EU with SSL) for my downloads, and notice that one of them has some parts with a red background and missing blocks, and more importantly, I can't extract either via 7-Zip or even Quickpar as there aren't enough blocks :(

I right clicked on the file in alt.binz and hit the 'Repair PAR2 Set' button but it didn't seem to do anything unfortunately :(

Is there anyway to quickly or easily repair/re-download these parts?

Thanks

Did you try to manually download the remaining/all PAR blocks?
If so and QuickPar can't still repair it, then it is instabin. :(

D'oh! Thanks Asca :)

Is there anyway to set the whole lot to try and download again? Or am I going to have to delete it all, and then re-download it manually?

Thanks again

Since it doesn't require a lot of effort, the only thing you can do is add them again by hand. You can however choose (in the setup) to skip existing files, but in your case I would delete them all.

Astraweb completion looks much better today.
