This is no longer necessary, they now allow you to specify ranges of partial files. So you can split a single large file into multiple requests to keep you within allowance or within budget.
- natch 11y agoNice. I also upload par2 checksum files for each chunk so changing things now would involve a bit of script rewriting, but that's good to know for the future.
- thedufer 11y agoIs that necessary? They report a checksum for every file when you request an inventory.
- natch 11y agoNo, it's not necessary at all, I hope. I probably should have called them just "Par2" files not Par2 checksum files. They aren't just checksums. They allow reconstruction of the original file even after fairly extensive damage. Which isn't likely, so, yes, not strictly necessary, but who knows, could be useful in the what-if scenario. The checksums you mention only help with checking, not with repair. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchive
