MacPAR deLuxe features compress newsgroup uploads/downloads
MacPAR deLuxe is a utility program that can be useful to you if you upload and download binary files to and from Internet newsgroups.
MacPAR deLuxe ca also give a clear overview of the status of all files.
MacPAR deLuxe main functions are:
Verify the completeness of downloaded data, and repair missing parts, by means of so called "par" and "par2" files;
Unpack data from a RAR archive (most of the files in newsgroups are compressed with rar);
Automatically start an external program (such as Stuffit Expander) to unpack downloaded files.
Main features of MacPAR deLuxe:
Full support for the "par 1" and "par 2" standards.
Perform verification, recovery and automatic unrar (if applicable) by just double-clicking the ".par" or ".par2" file.
Get a clear overview of the status of all files (see example screenshots).
Create a par or par2 volume set by dragging files to the window and simply save the document.
Open a rar archive and unpack the files inside.
Can automatically start an external program to process files in the par set.
Aqua user interface - created with the Cocoa framework.
Can open multiple windows and run multiple jobs at the same time.
Alternatively, multiple jobs can be queued and processed one after the other, to save machine overhead.
Many configurable options.
Fully compatible with "other" par and rar utilities.
Documentation included in the "Help" menu.
What's New in This Release:
You can now configure a folder where the Unrar results will always be written.
Added a configuration option for fully unattended operation.
Added a configuration option to limit the number of CPU cores used for par2 processing. Default is still to use all cores.
In Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on an Intel Macintosh the par2 process now runs in 64-bit mode, resulting in a slight performance improvement.
The Quit menu is now disabled while a par or unrar is running. You must explicitly cancel before quitting.
Before starting the par / par2 process the program now checks if the folder is writable.
The program no longer runs on Mac OSX 10.3.x (Panther). Supported systems are 10.4.x (Tiger) and 10.5.x (Leopard).
