Publisher's Description
From Peter B. Clements:
QuickPar is a utility for creating Parity Volumes using the Reed Solomon algorithm. Parity Volumes may be used to verify that a set of files have not been corrupted, or to reconstruct damaged files (providing that you have a sufficient quantity of Parity Volumes to match the missing or damaged files). QuickPar uses the PAR version 2.0 specification.
What's new in this version:
- A code change in 0.9 that resulted in slower operation for some users has been adjusted.
- Error messages in the verification window now have a tooltip to display the full error if it is long.

"Works well, integrated with NewsbinPro"
Version: QuickPar 0.9.1
Pros
Everything. Simple interface, works well. I've been using it for years then had to reinstall after a system restore.
I wouldn't be without itCons
None really
Summary
If you download from newsgroups this is a must.
-
"Invaluable utility for all Usenet users; up & down."
Version: QuickPar 0.9.1
Pros
Easy to use with default setup. If it's needed it works!
Cons
Interface a little too busy and looks intimidating.
Summary
A "must have" for your Usenet toolbox. Saves tons of time by not having to ask for or to provide resends.
-

None, none!

Workes exactly as expected
Cons
No cons that I've found.
-
"Great Program, been using it for years"
Version: QuickPar 0.9.1
Pros
Very Intuitive
Cons
Doesn't give you options if too much data is corrupt
Summary
It Works, enough said
-
"Simply a Must Have"
Version: QuickPar 0.9.1
Pros
If you are going to do rar type files you will need this to check the download to see if everything is intact and functional. Works really well with few problems.
Cons
There my be some but I'm not sure what they would be.
Summary
Overall a good program that just does what you need it to do.

"It does the job quickly; it is a bit ungainly to use."
Version: QuickPar 0.9.1
Pros
I works correctly to rebuild fragmented rar binaries using par files.
Cons
It needs some refinements: It would be useful to be able to filter out extraneous files to make searching a directory faster. Enabling the user to select his own default view, say "details", would smooth the operation considerably.
Summary
I use it, but wish I had more control over the defaults.
-
"exellant,just installed"
Version: QuickPar 0.9.1
Pros
just install and leave it'll do the rest
Cons
not found any yet
Summary
have to work it more and experience

"This is Sweet"
Version: QuickPar 0.9.1
Pros
Worked first time I tried it with a lot of other apps open full steam.
Cons
Even learning about the need for this utility is a bit of a journey and it can be confusing for the novice to use.
Summary
There are, however, many good tutorials online which you can access with a few simple clicks. Just search "QuickPar" and start with default settiings and you should do well.
Creates a nice set of PAR2 files that can be used to repair and or open .RAR file pieces you can find online at sites like UseNet. (That site is limited by it's ability to handle smaller files, so people break them up into smaller pieces with programs like WinRAR.)
If you and your friends share large files or you want to participate in UseNet ( they offer a free trial that is worth checking into ) you need this program. It's "freeware" for all intents and purposes so it's worthy of this site. -
