Re: Checksums Demystified (.st5, .ffp and .md5)

for recompressing FLAC use most recent binaries if using TLH you can go into program files/trader's little helper/CmdlineApps folder and overwrite flac.exe with x86 or x64 version of flac.exe downloadable here:
https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/flac/
flac-1.3.2-win.zip 2017-01-01 01:58 1.2M (windows x64 and x86 inside)

I know a lot of ppl are still running the old 2011 version of TLH so its a way to be at least a little more up to date. the newer binaries have better compression with no disadvantage, no effect to st5 and ffp altho you won't be able to hop directly on a torrent containing the older version of the show. md5s will no longer work, just take them out. the flac container is designed to be updated, regularly with 0% change to the wav file inside, verifiable using self-test or st5, ffp (which triggers self-test externally).

if you want to use cmd add -f switch. upgrade your binaries in path.
flac -V -8 -f
