Also known as: file part
Another word for segment, one numbered article in a multipart binary post. Usage varies: indexers and NZB files usually say segment, while subject lines and RAR sets say part, as in the (14/97) counter or a .part14.rar volume. Both refer to a piece that must be collected before reassembly, and the distinction matters only when reading a client's error messages closely.
