Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Six Months

Has anyone seen an issue where the "Verifying the files" stage of the program just keeps on running? I have 8 rar segs, one of them has and invalid checksum. I also have 8 valid PAR2 files. The program finds all of this, but it's now been stuck on "Verifying the files" for 20 minutes. Bottom reads: Total 8 Good 7 Need 0 blocks = 0 bytes.

Otherwise, never had a problem with this invaluable program. Please reward the author!

System Info:PowerMac B&W G3 with OWC Mercury G4 500 upgrade running X.2.8.

Go to Window > Show Par Output. For PAR2 recovery, the program seems to scan the entire folder for recovery files. If you've got a lot of files in the same directory as your par2 and .rar files, MacPAR takes a while to check them all.

Yes. In fact, I've yet to have a successful par2 recovery.

Works fine if there are no errors though :-).
