In discussion with other usenet users a suggestion for more efficient bandwidth use, but a more manageable par2 file size for very large posts
- A ceiling level to the number of blocks per par2 file
ie at a setting of 20 vol000+1, vol001+2, vol003+4, vol007+8, vol015+16, vol031+20, vol051+20, vol071+20 etc would be produced, cutting down the bandwidth use for someone requiring 23 blocks to 23blocks worth, rather than 40 blocks worth in the scenario where equal sized 20block par2s are produced
Hope people would find this useful, and wouldn't be too difficult to implement
