WHAT IS SFV32?
SFV stands for Simple File Validator and is just that. The reason why SFV
exists is the fact that the best archiver around - RAR - lacks a significant
ability, namely the ability to put one CRC per volume in a file which spans
over multiple volumes. This is bad news indeed when downloading a file wich
resides in 40+ volumes and it unpacks with an error there is no way of telling
in wich volume the error is.
SFV has a solution to these little problem quirks or RAR. SFV generates an
external crc file containing checksums of the files. If something fails when
unpacking, simply use SFV and find out which file(s) have errors and
RE-DOWNLOAD ONLY THE FAULTY FILES again -- this will save time and effort,
because downloading the entire set of archives AGAIN from another source still
cannot 100% guarantee flawless transmission. But with a working crc you can
keep looking for those good files, and you'll know that the files are genuinely
part of the same set.
