I don't blame you at all. I still have the par's and rar's for rotj97. I am able to verify the files with the sfv and pars unlike sw97. I'll provide any files that you request.
On a related note, I believe I have discovered that it isn't my isp,usenet provider, or even user error. It seems that the program I'm using for posting is buggy in that it causes crc errors. I'm immediately switching back to the old program even though it posts slower. The program is camelsystem powerpost btw. I will be using powerpost 2000 from now on.
