Smiling Pasta downloading help

[dangermousie]

I am trying to dl eps 4 and 5 of Smiling Pasta (they've recently been subbed).

But problem.

When I try to do a torrent, it gives me a ridiculous dl time (83 days) and ends up crashing half the time because there aren't any peers. So BT is out.

I tried going to the clubbox it's at, but it's all in Korean so I have no idea how to click or dl or anything.

The subbers' site has links to eps broken into parts (e.g. ep 4 is broken into 3 parts) however, it doesn't have ".001" ".002" etc after it, and the files themselves are in a .rar format which I have no idea how to play or what to do with it. I tried using HJsplit to join the parts (and had to add .001 etc to the end of the files) but whether because the format is weird or because I shouldn't have added part names or whatever, it ends up being in .rar and unplayable.

Any other way to get it? Or how do I make .rar files work?

I'd just wait for the jdramas but the person who uploaded first three eps seems to have stopped...

OK, it sounds like someone has split it using Winrar. If this turns out to be the case, try this:

1. Put all the .rar files into one directory after downloading all the parts
2. Use WinRar to "unzip" the first part--if you try to "unzip" the first part without having the rest of the parts, WinRar will give you a message akin to "Needs part 2 to continue decompressing" or something of that nature.
3. WinRar should automatically unzip the rest of the parts and put them together into one file

Hopefully this works--let me know if it does.

One more thing--don't change the file names! If it's split with WinRar, you don't need to add ".001" or anything to the file name.

Thank you! Will try this tomorrow and see how it goes! *crosses fingers*

what is this "Smiling Pasta," and will my backlog hurt me if you tell me?

It's adorable and fluffy and funny so most likely.

I did a pimp of it here:

:o I can UL the eps as I get them for you. I have more than enough space on my server.

Thanks! I found them on MU though. So now all I am waiting for is for the new harddrive I bought to get here because I don't have enough space to dl it all...
