[ruebsy]

Yep. Totally new to this, anyone point me in the direction to learn what it is I'm to do with downloads where it says I must use quickpar to fix? Ive downloaded it and played a bit but need some reading, didn't sesam to come across anything pertaining to Wii and Gamecube DLs. Any help is appreciated, and go easy on a noob...

Install QuickPar, make sure the relevant par2 is in the same folder/directory as the archive, double click the par2, let QuickPar scan, hit repair.
If you need extra blocks to repair the uploader may oblige. But usually if you just redownload a part you will get what you need.



Edit:
Oh and if you're using something other than a PC running M$ OS you'll need a QuickPar alternative...

Thanks for the help, I see how it works now. I was totally over thinking this...

Yeah it seems a little daunting initially but it's actually quite simple

Many people mess up by not having the par2 in the same place as the archive, and/or they create their own par2 data because they get confused.

So one last dumb question. I am looking at goldeneye on wii. I see the 2 links for par2 blocks. Even with both qp is saying I need 7005 more blocks? How is this blocks thing working? Are they game specific files? How do I get more of them?

[deadlegion]

Link to the thread please. Going by the blocks it appears that would be the entire download or close to it.

I used both the par2 under the txt file with mega links and the show spoiler mega link had additional blocks, maybe ill need to try a different link from the txt file

[deadlegion]

You'll need to download all the links from the txt file. It should be a split archive so multiple parts (not just one file/download).
Use the attached par2, the link inside the spoiler is for extra blocks if required.

Ha! I was just noticing that...sorry noobed out, great help tho!
