Well I am basically computer illiterate. I know absolutely nothing about computers, well i guess I know some basics, but not really. so I would like to know how to use hacha because i would be able to get lots of clips. so can someone plz explain how to use hacha in terms that a person who knows nothing about computers could unnderstand.

I've just replied to another user who had issues with Hacha.
It's not hard to use - I think the biggest problem with it is the language. Second, it requires some computer literacy, but you can learn a smattering of both - spanish and computer - easily.
So, here's my quick help.
First, execute Hacha. Be sure you got at least version 2.98. If not, look for a newer version on TT or through google.
When loaded, you'll see a menu with a drawing on the left, an axeman, and two icons on the right. Cortar means "split", Pegar "join". The icons are self-explanatory, though.
To rejoin an archive just extract all files from the downloaded zips. To properly open them, use winzip, from www.winzip.com.
Now select Pegar - Join - on the menu, look for the extracted files, and point to the .0 file.
[You got at least two files, with .0, .1, .2, etc. extentions. Just look for the first of them, "yourfile.avi.0", or "whatever the name.0"]
The next menu has three options: Origen=Destino, Borrar Fuentes, Check CRC.
You can leave the first selected - it means Hacha will rejoin the file into the same folder the split parts rest.
Borrar fuentes means Delete Source. That is, if you are familiar with Hacha, you can instruct it to delete the split parts.
Check CRC just means check if the rejoined file is identical to the original one. Doesn't matter since few use it to split files, so leave it unchecked.
If you don't select Origen=Destino, select an output folder, and let Hacha join the parts.
Just close Hacha, and look for your new, rejoined file.
Keep in mind there a couple of versions out there, so be sure to ask what version a particular file has been split with.
This doesn't cover everything about Hacha, but at least now you know what the menus mean.
[No, I'm not spaniard, so I can't offer in-depth assistance... 😉 ]

They are in plain old form. But they need to be split somehow to get around the hard 2 megs limit set by the server.
If each singular attachment is over 2 megs, server will reject it. So ppl use Hacha - and other progs - to split files into 2 megs parts.
There is no other way I can think of, sort of using other splitting progs. I suggested using Top Split, which used a dos batch file to rejoin the files. Other asked for Winrar.
I know it is frustrating, but really, it's the best next thing.

Installing Hacha.
Ppl asked me about installing hacha and managing zip files.
I'm replying here for the sake of everybody.
I'm not sure about all version of hacha; last version is self installing, if I am not wrong: just extract the program somewhere [I have a separate folder just for non-microsoft progs] and run the executable.
It will create TWO shortcuts, one in your start menu, the other on the desktop.
If you delete them, Hacha will just create copies whenever you run it.
Hope this answer to the installing issues: I put Hacha in a Hacha folder under my Tools directory. You could do something similar. Your taste: whenever you run Hacha, it creates its shortcuts, so it doesn't really matter where you put it, as long as you are satisfied with its position.
A note on installing: I haven't checked the registry, but Hacha associates the .0 extention with its executable. This means that when you run any .0 file, Hacha will fire up. Since I had multiple versions of Hacha on my computer, this led to conflicts. But once you are familiar with it, this association saves you some time.
Second point: zip files. Zip files are only necessary to let the server accept the split parts. Servers do NOT accept files with uncommon extentions. That's why most ppl zip split parts. This saves space too, of course.
Do you need to unzip those files? Yes. Hacha CANNOT open compressed archives, AFAIK. You effectively have to extract the split parts, thus having both the zip AND the splits. You can safely delete the zips, ONCE you uncompressed the splits. Same applies to RARed, ARJed, PAKed files. Uncompress, THEN fire up Hacha - and look for the .0 file.
Hacha can delete the split sources, so once you have joined your files, you can safely erase zips and splits. I suggest you make up a folder just for joining files, so you don't have to look for strays in a crowded directory.
This way you know what files need to be joined, and which are good to view.
If you have more Qs, please read my first post on this thread. Carefully. It's only a spanish program, just look at the icons and forget about spanish. 🙂
"Cortart" means "Split". "Pegar" means "Join".
"Origen=Destino" means "same destination as source".
"Borrar Fuentes" means "delete source".
Check CRC is self explanatory - that is, it will check the cyclic redundancy of the file, and tell you if it is corrupted or good.

This is good... I wonder if other versions exist.
...
Oh, goodness, why that blasted programmer wasn't an english speaker?
Anglophones are just spoiled when it comes to their language: in europe we all have to learn a second lang, just to communicate outside our country.
C*zzo! Possibile che solo noi dobbiamo arrangiarci!? 😉 😉 😉
Cr*p, why it's always up to us to make do!? 😉 😉 😉
