Hacha FAQ

[TickleTheater]

I suppose it's time to address this issue after many have addressed me on this already. So here is a faq and guideline to follow when dealing with Hacha.

Q. What is Hacha?
A. Hacha is a free program utility that can either split up large files into small ones, or can put them back together again.

Q. Why don't they just post the larger file on the site?
A. Well it has to do with the 2mb max file size limitations of PHP itself. That's just the way it is..

Q. Is there a limit to the size of file we post with Hacha?
A. Yes. The overall file size limit for posting clips is 20Mb.
- Effective 10/04/2004 all clips posted here past this date cannot be over 20Mb in total size. You get 5 uploads per post which can be 2Mb maximum in size so with simple math that's 10Mb per post. Therefore no clip posting should take more than 2 posts to upload the entire clip. Remember if you split a clip it belongs in The Splits forum.

I understand that there are people that love Hacha, and people that absolutely hate it. But please remember regardless of where you stand that our Rules state that everyone must be polite when participating in this community.

Please feel free to add anything I may have left off. If it's noteworthy I'll edit this post to reflect the official faq/guidlelines.

Well it's good to remind it TT 🙂
In fact i think that some people cannot really deal with - even if it has been explained thousands times - for example see each cosquillero clip posts : he tells how it works quite clearly -.
Do you have problems using it TT ??

 

[coolman]

Yes. Effective immediately any new files over 5mb attached to this forum shall be removed. So if it takes more than 1 post to upload a file then it will most likely get canned.

:shocked: :sad:

ah well, we can't argue as it's your site and all, but i did enjoy those larger files...

 

[TickleTheater]

larger files = larger bandwidth = larger bill = unhappy TT

I'm already paying a boatload for the site as it is...thank goodness for the site sponsors we have but it doesn't pay for everything. 🙁

Is this really a limit? I've seen people talking about larger file sizes on other boards without mentioning this.

That's what I was told when I entered a help thread on vbulletin a long time ago about this. Maybe they changed it, maybe they haven't. I just know people cannot upload more than 2mb here without problems.

Sometimes files just a little above 2 mb 2.1 or so do upload. I was quite happy seeing that files to 5mb could be posted, but it does not work .
It's only for clips though.

Perhaps this thread will help?

There are 2 versions rounding of the same program v 1.0 (hacha 2) and v 2.98 (hacha 3). In order to clear some doubts, i show you which is each version and what can does it.

The oldest hacha (hacha 2 or v 1.0) looks so : (see at image "Hacha v1.0.jpg")

The new hacha (hacha 3 or v 2.98) looks so : (see at image "Hacha v2.98.jpg")

The hacha v2.98 (hacha 3) can to join files splitted with previous version (hacha 2 or v1.0), but v1.0 (hacha 2) can't to join files splitted with v2.98 (hacha 3). In any case, if you got hacha 3 (v2.98) you can to join any clip splitted with both versions (v1.0 and v2.98) without any problem. Only hacha 3 (v2.98) can to join a file doing double-click on its icon (the icon of file splitted, that with viking man!). In order to can to join a splitted file using hacha, all parts/chunks/files must to be on the same folder, you can to copy all parts over your desktop and after to do double-click on first part (that with viking man!). Really simple and easy.

Hacha is included in last file of all my posts, so isn't a trouble to get it.

 

[gth1]

Two questions. First, I have not been able to view WMV files. I've re-installed Windows Media for XP twice with no change. Secondly, do I need to download HACHA each time I want to view something split with HACHA or does the WinRAR 3.3 help me?

 

[cosquillero1]

Hacha and winrar are differents applications so you can't unsplit a clip splitted with hacha using winrar nor vice versa. Besides if you got hacha in any download you don't need to get it again, you have it already.

Taking a idea from another member, i've created an step-by-step graphic manual for to learn to use hacha, only follow each image attached in its own order (from 1st Image, until 6th Image).

 

[cosquillero1]

Here's the last image (6th Image).

Same here I've only found the old one.

 

[cosquillero1]

Your answer is just 2nd page, Post #14. Besides hacha 2.98 can to join any file splitted with any version of hacha (old or new).

EDIT: For those who want the last version (3.3 until this date), can to get it just in this thread : hacha 3.3.

 

[HeyHeyHey1]

Maybe your pc has some wrong, or maybe has viruses. Hacha (any version) works pretty fine, without any error. Could you to post a print-screen of that issue?.
