Is it considered acceptable to repost movies or TV shows from Usenet that are not available on any open torrent tracker? Obviously, the reposted content will be left unchanged and will have the exact filename as originally uploaded by the initial uploader.
Here’s a quick guide on understanding
.par2files and how to use them. If you’re using SABnzbd or NZBget, it should handle these automatically to “repair” the downloaded file, AFAIK.Understanding PAR2 Files - HARLEY HAHN’S USENET CENTER
Oh my mistake, thought you meant these random .srr and .sfv files I keep finding, just went back and checked the extension. Well good info anyway, thanks! But yeah I guess sabnzbd takes care of that then.
Now if I could only figure out how to build Sonarr from source I’d be set, but ./confgure returns a message proclaiming it doesn’t exist, and I am in the untarred directory. I’ll have to get on their IRC or something I guess. Stack overflow insists autoconfigure (which my system also thinks isn’t real) and “just cd into the directory bro” are the only answers, yet still no Sonarr.
.sfv is a text file that lists the crc32’s (hash) of the scene release rar files to verify if they are broken/modified in any way. They can sometimes have ascii art in them, or vague info on what topsite the release last went through, but thats rather rare these days. .srr files are created by a program called PyReScene which records exactly how a scene release is rar’d, and with what winrar version to re-create the original release format (rar’d) at a later date. Super useful program for reseeding and cross seeding stuff.
Cool, thanks! Good to know!
Oh, and if you start out with the unpacked files, but don’t have a srr file to re-scene them, you can probably find one by searching the release name on srrdb.com. Mileage may vary though.
Cool thanks I’ll bookmark it!
