Is a single RAR not a file?
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 6:36 pm
I recently downloaded a rather large post of 43 GB, consisting of 430 RAR's. I didn't want newsbin to unpack this, as I wanted to unpack it later on, on an external drive.
After downloading, the post needed some repair, witch task newsbin did, and it moved on to the next post.
Then I decided the repaired post no longer needed to be in the download list, so I selected it and hit the delete button. I got the question if all incomplete files had to be removed and I clicked YES, thinking newsbin was going to delete the remains of the files that were repaired.
And then newsbin deleted ALL the files! 43 GB down the drain!
NOW I understand newsbin considers the whole post as a file, not every single RAR, but still I think that is wrong. A complete RAR is a complete file, no matter what.
p.s. I am using 6.21
