Hi all.

I`m new to the newsreader aspect of this all, and... I am somewhat confused to some of the Wookiegroomer editions that have audio issues, missing files, ect. I downloaded Empire and 10 of the files were bad. It was such a let down for me. So where can I pick up working nzb files of known good files of the 6 with there proper names so i know what to look for? Im sorry if these are silly questions. I have seen screenshots of Wookiegroomers work and fell in love with the clarity of it all. I`m glad people like him and Ady do what they do. Amazing stuff. Thanks for any help.

Cheers. The files are bad because some of the posts to usenet were corrupted, which happens all the time. That's why there are par2 files posted for the releases. These files are special parity files that allow reconstruction of the broken parts of the files to a certain extent. QuickPAR allows you to do this on Windows, and the par2 command in linux.
