I've got several downloads with PAR 2.0 checksum files. Unfortunately par2
(version 0.4) detects that several of the files are missing because some
ofthe filenames are all uppercase instead of the lowercase that the files
originally existed as.

Is there a switch I can specify to tell par2 to ignore the case of a
filename? MAN page doesn't seem to indicate one, and I don't see one
searching online.

Is there a command line alternative to par2? Which would be recommended for
this Debian Lenny PC?

Thanks!

If par2 doesn't have an option to ignore the casing, you can convert all
of the filenames to lower case using this perl command:

perl -le 'rename $_, lc( $_ ) foreach <*>'
