Re: [Pan-users] nzb download errors and bombing out.

[John Wendel]

FYI, the download errors with thousands of "copy" files can be recovered

ON LINUX - Don't know about other systems

[1] - delete the *ERROR* files

[2] - find the target "not-a-copy" file in the batch

[3] - copy the file from [2] to a new file "XXX"

[4] - append all the "copy" files to "XXX"

    - I use the cat command => cat *_copy_?.xxx >> XXX
                               cat *_copy_??.xxx >> XXX
                               cat *_copy_???.xxx >> XXX
                               cat *_copy_????.xxx >> XXX
                               cat *_copy_?????.xxx >> XXX

[5] - rename the XXX file to the target "not-a-copy" [2] filename

[6] - run the par2 command

[7] - run the unrar command

[8] - don't worry, be happy

Regards
