.sfv/.par files - sabatooch - 05-31-2004
Hi all,
I was downloading some tv show episodes from a newsgroup and .sfv/.par files were the only ones available. When i try to play them in my windows media player, it says they are unrecognized. Can someone tell me what i need to do to watch them. I don't know much about computers, so be simple yet thorough lol. Thanks, peace!!

I Googled it and came up with this:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.jtpfxp.net/nfosfvrar.htm#sfv">http://www.jtpfxp.net/nfosfvrar.htm#sfv</a><!-- m -->
Hope it helps!

.sfv files are used to verify compressed files in a distribution. Mainly warez or the likes. There is an .sfv checker utility that you run and it checks the files similar to an .md5 file i believe.
