To verify your downloads at consistency, you can use an MD5-tool. A good one is MD5deep. You can download MD5deep from Sourceforge
Extract the downloaded zipfile to any folder you like, and then use the following syntax to check the (downloaded) file on consistency: [path to md5deep.exe] [path of file to check]
Probably, the biggest annoyance of downloading files from usenet is the check with QuickPar to verify the consistency of the downloaded files. After waiting a long time (repairing can take hours!), you also have to unrar the files.
