After using PAR2 for several days, I have to agree with others, it's not so-really-fast. It's not a problem actually, my data safety is way more important to me. Anyway, what I want to ask is - is a distributed .par2 computing *planned* for future releases? I've got a few PCs around here, most of them doing exactly nothing and it just hurts me. ;-) I think par2 in a Fast Ethernet LAN environment would benefit from it alot.
