Applications and Resources for Bit Error Recovery in Stored Data

[Speederlander]

Anyone feel free to correct me.

Source block count indicates how fine a grained breakdown you will take when looking at the source data. Recovery block count indicates the coverage of your recovery data. Note below that 100% redundancy (equal source block and recovery block count) yields 1:1 corespondence between the two numbers.

There's a problem with very large files that will cause quickpar to choke. As the file gets bigger it hits an upper limit. Hence for valuable files I break them up with winrar and then add recovery data to smaller groups.
