I don't know the meaning of those Q2 comments, nor did I put them there. They were already in there when segaflip posted to a.b.starwars.

(Waving hand) Oooh! Oooh! I know this one! QuickSfv will put crap like:

;Q2-4A==
-----------------------------------
at the end of the sfv file, after it checks, if you tell it to "Update DB" - it will store the results for the files you have, so that when you download more of the files, you don't have wait around for it to re-check the ones you've already checked.
(pause for breath)
That can be a bad setting if you're moving files to a drive that's corrupting new files... (I had an md5 utility set that way & lost some nice things). QuickPar does this without asking, but at least it remembers the path & re-checks after a move (and it stores the results in a cache, not in the par file).
And, uh, to continue rambling, FYI: I've read that sfv wasn't meant for large files - over, umm, 15 Megs, I think it was. An md5 or par-information-file can be relied on - they were designed with huge files in mind. I'm not criticizing anyone, I just like annoying people with that factiod,
