FYI, the download errors with thousands of "copy" files can be recovered

ON LINUX - Don't know about other systems

[1] - delete the *ERROR* files

[2] - find the target "not-a-copy" file in the batch

[3] - copy the file from [2] to a new file "XXX"

[4] - append all the "copy" files to "XXX"

    - I use the cat command => cat *_copy_?.xxx >> XXX
                               cat *_copy_??.xxx >> XXX
                               cat *_copy_???.xxx >> XXX
                               cat *_copy_????.xxx >> XXX
                               cat *_copy_?????.xxx >> XXX

[5] - rename the XXX file to the target "not-a-copy" [2] filename

[6] - run the par2 command

[7] - run the unrar command

[8] - don't worry, be happy

Regards

hi, I am on pan 0.146 and will try the new version soon, and thanks for taking it up again.

the problem I have with many nzb downloads is that is saves the part in many multiple <filename>_copy_x, where x can be in the hundreds, interspersed with ,filename_copy_x.ERROR files

the x ones are 1mb and the ERRORS 45bytes.

then aborts, seemingly trying on the first part only.

seems like a fragmentation/continuity issue or the usenet providers generation of the nzb.

thanks for reading.


side note, I have tried and tried and unable to find anything that is as good as pan (once was). they all are esoteric or want a web browser interface
