Don't know what is happening with rar/par files sometimes

Postby eclapwannabe » Thu Apr 18, 2013 11:47 am

Most of the time AutoPar/Rar files work just fine.

What happens when it doesn't work correctly is that the file will be split up into 2 folders.
One folder will have 1 or 2 par files and part of the file group with duplicates of the filenames with
xxx-0001, xxx-0002, xxx-0002 extension and in the UnRar subfolder it will have the completed set without
being in a folder.

I like that it has the ability to do this automatically and sure beats the old manual way of doing things.
I guess I just need to get use to the way NB handles multi-part files.

I have a suggestion that maybe already be covered by the wide ranging options in NB.
Could NB check to see if a poster(file) gets separated into a folder if the poster forgot to do this
when they set up the multi-part file. I ran into about 12 multipart files that didn't have a folder set in
the winrar file volume and it took forever to separate all the files into individual folders. Just a time
consuming adventure not something that will make the world come to an end!

I'd assume that most don't have folders and work from there. You probably want to enforce your own folders. If you're using NZB Files for example, you can include the NZB filename in the path. If you're using headers, you might want to use "Download to Folder Named for Subject" from the right click menu of the post lists.

How are you downloading? Search, headers or NZB Files?

I am an old slave to headers.

So with "Download to Folder named for Subject" will work with par/rar files through the unrar folder?
