For the junk judge: a "movie" whose first bytes are a program is fake.
Two bytes alone match random data too often, so the PE signature where the
DOS header points must be there too. No PROBE_VERSION bump: new probes only.

208ca1d's volume of 3-5 digits after a digit (YME's "CHT PCK 2 9.26.001")

Kaizen's "v2.0.1021" ... "v2.0.1057" became one release (505 names on the

(no dots or spaces) .partNN and that extension go.

f1c5af5's set head (an image's name up to its first number) split sets whose
images aren't named alike: "a1.jpg" beside "a1 (2).jpg", and "468_1000.jpg"
whose first number is the image's (1 release became 211 and 161 on the

a total was one release (2,338 files for 20; also partner-of-ssl-news,
brothers-of-usenet). A random stem (no dots or spaces) on a volume file
joins the subject key; a scene name doesn't, so its nfo stays.

(5,731 images for 559; 6,433 tracks for 457). Under a counter its total is
part of the key; a cover named as its archive's stem keeps the stem's key.

Two processes, one NNTP connection each (the coordinator 40 -> 38):
- spots:read (service spotter): free.pt's overviews after the last article
seen, each spot's full header verified (lib/spotnet from voyager 1, as
Spotweb), its description, website and NZB articles; the password its
title or text names; delete/dispose messages applied.
- spots:inspect (service spot-inspector): each spot's compressed NZB read,
its files listed (spot_files), each matched to the header pass's release
by the same release identity in one of its groups within 48 h
(release_spots); unmatched spots matched again hourly, after 24 h a
release of their own (source spot) with the spot's NZB.
- release_passwords: per release and password, its source (nzb, spot-title,
spot-text) and spot; the catalog keeps only passworded.

- A bracketed hex id per file ("[PRiVATE] Rosewood.S02E08… [1f1793f68d5321]
[newzNZB] [01/22]") goes from the subject: nEwZ[NZB]'s 32,101 single files.
- A stem that starts with a date is specific enough for the poster-tag rule
("09-30-2008_CTC.r00" under "#sterntuary - Coast To Coast Radio Show":
still one release of 25,188 files, the stem being too short to "describe").
- Episodes under a bare counter ("[01/36] "Pokemon - S02E01 - Pallet Party

- probe_cache: final answers by message-id (status, inspection with the

From the first corpus sweep (183 ranges):
- A stray quote took the last quote pair ('"x.mp3" "Album_BY_WaRLoRD',
'"x.nfo" " yEnc', '"x.nzb" yEnc"'): the last quoted part with an
extension is the name. Each file was a release of its own.
- A single-quoted name at the end ("… [001/106] 'You, Me And Dupree.nfo'"),
not the host before it (www.x2l.nl).
- Text ending in a host ("… www.libranews.nl") is no file name; a name in
brackets comes first ("[01/77][LIBRATEAM_M2219009.par2]",
"-^-[Mnozil Brass - Seven.nzb]-^-").
- A leading date is no item number ("09-30-2008_BAK_JRS.r00": a daily
show's 32,621 files were one release under the poster's tag).

The prober stores, per probed article that starts a file, the MD5 of its
first 16 KiB (file_hashes), and per par2 body the set's whole file list
(par2_files, par2_sets): FileDesc holds the same hash per file, whatever
the file was renamed to. releases:merge (the merger service, no NNTP)
merges every minute the releases of one group, posted within 48 hours of
a release holding the set's par2, whose files the set describes, into the
one with the most files: chunks, probe candidates, inspections, hashes and
counts move; the par2's shared name when none was readable; release_merges
keeps what went where. Obfuscated uploads whose files were each a release
of their own ("[9/20] - "14f5999a…"", hep: 13,232) become one.
Also: corpus_sweep.py counts the marked ranges without psql's command tag.

- namesRelease accepts words joined by , & : ; \ / + ("Posting & deleting,

the stem rule ("P8250001.JPG"), one release over all folders.

("sss-70556-3474182-23-10825418-pc", "Alena p 26663_…"): no set. Copy
markers may repeat ("diana-050-052[1][1]").

yEnc' once the quotes were gone: 97 sets of 60 were one release. A number
of fewer than 4 digits after a word stays.

- imageSet: "_N" right after a number is a renumbering ("kate108lg029_28"

"051 - White leather kate054001_1_1.jpg": the index is inside 054001

whole number before counted as a repeat, so the set kept 054001 and every
image was a release (Duke's threads: 2,791 releases of 3,251 files). A
suffix that the number before ends with is a repeat as well. Both

The set bound cut at an image name's last number, but in many threads
that's a suffix, so every image was a set ("It does my heart good to see
Red Dog dancing again": 4,683 releases of 4,730 files): a repeat of the
index (katelg010_10), a year (hgrscans1097_2009), a size
(pj02kristina_24of40_1600), an "of" total (24of40). imageSet drops

Without a file counter a subject-named image release was bounded by the

perla_s01, apneatic-7, -8 …) one release each.
- Free-text names without numbers ("JimAndJoey Kindly Husband-to-Be.JPG")
made each image a set: one thread was 1,177 releases.
The bound is now the name up to its last number with its digits
("stp250x", "keira_s05_l keira_s05_", "apneatic-7-"), and nothing for a

file total and counted as incomplete. Dates (2011-08-29, 08-29-2011,

an upper-case code and digits before the track number (SC8367-12,
ZMP050-04) is a numbered item too. Both implementations; tests; fixtures

From the re-index's single-file releases:
- A quoted text without an extension ("My \"Official\" remaining set's

\"yEnc\"", "\"Dr. Lust\" - … - [12/21] - Ed_DRL_VDR_LM.part09.rar") was

Old picture groups split every image into a release (the reset's first
hour: 583k releases, 447k of one file; a.b.pictures.erotica.high-heels
262k): "Aletta Ocean - \"100628-035.jpg\" yEnc [347K]" kept its size in
the remainder, and "Corie - \"2877-041.jpg\" yEnc [290K]" named its set
with one word, which namesRelease (two words) refused, so the image's
own name keyed it. Sizes like [347K] (and a cut-off "336573 byt") are
removed; for images a one-word subject (3+ letters) names the set. On
100k high-heels articles: 4,509 releases -> 192. Both implementations;
tests; fixtures identical.

"ai-engineer-complete [401/465] - \"003 Defining Tools with JSON
Schema.mp4\"": the subject's text shares no word with the lesson's
descriptive name, so it was taken for a poster's constant tag and each of
the course's 465 files keyed a release of its own (releases 75941915,
75941916). A stem starting with a 1-3 digit index and a separator is an
item of a set the subject names, as audio tracks and images already
were; uploads hours apart stay apart by the re-upload rule. Both
implementations; tests; fixtures identical.
