What happens if I try to rebuild a release and the extracted files are corrupted?

Good question. There are two main possibilities: 1. If the extracted file is not the same size as the the file contained in the original release, ReSecene will give you an error and abort, so you’ll know right away. 2. If the extracted file is the correct size but has some corrupted sections, ReScene will not (at least at present) give you any errors or warnings. This is part of the reason it is recommended you test the reconstructed release with SFV before using it. In most cases, the corruption will be limited to a single RAR, and the SFV will help you identify it. You can then replace or repair that RAR from another source. Note that the .srr file actually contains enough CRC data that we could identify errors encountered during the reconstruction process. This feature will most likely make it into a future release.
