They're made up of 152 "messages" which are each about 325KB. So one "part" of the .rar (archive) is about 50MB. Your newsreader holds the "files". Some newsreaders combine and decode the messages automatically and save the "attachments" as files. Sometimes you have to do that manually once the newsreader has downloaded all the messages that belong to a certain "part". In the end the newsreader should have all the individual .rar files that made up the upload. You then use an unarchiver to assemble the .rar's and build the .iso file inside them...

really? I have some files that are 25, and some that are as low as 11.67 and high as 53. Is there something wrong? I have not figured where the files are being saved yet.

|
braindead803, the iso can be extracted from the rar parts.

I doubt that's correct. The tools that most people use to create the ".rar" parts and carve everything up & yEnc them in a suitable fashion to be uploaded properly and consistently to newsgroup messages are pretty consistent. Just looking at the messages, they all seem pretty close to the same size and every "part" consists of 152 messages. All the "...partxxx.rar" 's should be pretty much the same size. |
anybody with the files 28 and 29?
