Allows you to open and create SFV files to test the validity of your downloads.
When we share
big files over Internet, specially through
direct download servers like
Rapidshare or
Megaupload, we normally divide them in
parts that we later have to
merge once again. On some occasions the merging process fails because one of the parts has been downloaded incorrectly or is corrupt or incomplete, and since we don't know which one it has been we have to
download all of them once again.
To avoid this we have the
SFV files available, that are small files that contain information about the divided files and that detect the
smallest error that any of them may be suffering of.
Many uploaders usually add an SFV file to the divided files so that the users that
download them can
check if the
download has taken place
correctly.
FlashSFV is a program that
generates and checks SFV code. It doesn't require installation and its functioning is rather simple.
Generate SFV files from the compressed parts that we tell it to, generally
RAR or
ZIP files.
When we open an SFV file, it shows us a folder with all the files that it contains. To check if any of them causes an error we have to select them all and click on the
analyze option.
At that moment we will be able to
locate the file that is causing problems, to be able to
download it on its own instead of all of the files once more.
An
essential tool for our Internet downloads.
Requirements: This
download requires a ZIP compatible compressor.
