<h2>What is Parchive?</h2>
<p> Parchive is redundant file format. If you lose part of your
file in transmission or in storage, you can use a Parchive file to
repair it. It's like RAID for files instead of a whole file
system. </p>
<p> Parchive's latest version is version 2.0 and its files have
the extension ".par2". If you have a ".par2" file (or older
".par" file) and want to repair the original file(s), you
can <a href="#install">install and run a client
program</a>. </p>
<p> Has been around for 20 years and there have been millions of
"par2" clients downloaded. "par2" is the de facto standard for
safely sending large files on Usenet (a.k.a., "network news") and
is built into many newsreaders. It is also used for backups,
where people fear a CD/DVD/tape will get damaged or, when using
multiple media, a few will fail entirely. </p>
<a name="install"></a>
<!-- clients, par2cmdline install and run for debian, ubuntu, etc. -->
<h2>Install and run a Parchive client</h2>
Parchive is a file format. It can be read and written by many
different programs. (We call these programs "clients".) Below is
a list of some of them.
<h3> Windows clients </h3>
<ul>
<li> <p> <a href="http://www.quickpar.org.uk/">QuickPar</a> A graphical client written by Peter Clements. Supports ".par" and ".par2" files. Supports multiple languages. </p> </li>
<li> <p> <a href="https://github.com/Yutaka-Sawada/MultiPar">MultiPar</a> A graphical client written by Yutaka Sawada. Supports at least ".par2" files. Supports at least English and Japanese. <b>WARNING:</b> There is a scammer who controls multipar.eu and is the top search result.</p> </li>
</ul>
<h3> OSX clients </h3>
<ul>
<li> <p> <a href="https://gp.home.xs4all.nl/Site/MacPAR_deLuxe.html">MacPAR deluxe</a> A graphical client. Supports ".par" and ".par2" files. </p> </li>
</ul>
<h3> Linux clients </h3>
<ul>
<li> <p> <a href="https://pypar2.fingelrest.net/">PyPar2</a> A graphical frontend for par2cmdline. Supports ".par" and ".par2" files. Supports multiple languages. </p> </li>
<li> <p> <b>par2cmdline</b> A command-line utility. It is the reference implementation. Supports ".par" and ".par2" files. </p> </li>
<!-- the attribute style="margin-left: 40px" indents the following paragraphs -->
<ul>
<li> <p style="margin-left: 40px"> <b>From source code</b> Use git to clone <a href="https://github.com/Parchive/par2cmdline">the source code</a>.

<h2>Help with Parchive</h2>
<!-- forums, wiki, github issues -->
<p>Bugs and questions for graphical client should be directed to
that client's author. The Parchive developers are only
responsible for the file format and the par2cmdline client.</p>
<p>Documentation for the par2cmdline client can be gotten by running "par2 --help" or "man par2" (or "par2cmdline --help" and "man par2cmdline"). </p>
<p>Bugs in par2cmdline can be tracked on <a href="https://github.com/Parchive/par2cmdline/issues"> the Github project's issues page</a>. </p>
<p> Some help is available on <a href="http://parchive.sourceforge.net/"> the old website on Sourceforge </p>
<a name="doc"></a>
<h2>Documentation</h2>
<!-- specifications -->
<p> <a href="doc/Parity_Volume_Set_Specification_v3.0.html"> Specification for Parchive files, version 3 --- ALPHA DRAFT</a>. Currently waiting on a reference implementation before finalizing the specification.</p>
<p> <a href="doc/Parity Volume Set Specification v2.0.html"> Specification for Parchive files, version 2</a>. </p>
<p> <a href="doc/Parity Volume Set Specification v1.0.html"> Specification for Parchive files, version 1</a> </p>
<p>Documentation for the par2cmdline client can be gotten by running "par2 --help" or "man par2" (or "par2cmdline --help" and "man par2cmdline"). </p>
<p> <a href="http://parchive.sourceforge.net/"> The old website on Sourceforge</a> has some more information. </p>
<a name="dev"></a>
<h2>Development</h2>
<!-- source, mailing list, old site, Thanks, etc. -->
<p> Development of par2cmdline program and Parchive file specification are done at <a href="https://github.com/Parchive/par2cmdline">the Github project page</a>.</p>
<p> Special thanks to the people who worked on Parchive:
