Pars and Rars loaded into two lists

I just recently upgraded to v6 (seriously didn't upgrade NB for a couple of years) and trying to learn all the new quirks. One particular issue I can't seem to figure out: I use Binsearch to get NZBs and have Newsbin auto-load them from a directory, then one or two things happen:

Scenario 1: The NZB is loaded into a single expandable list, with the the rars and and pars in the same list, and the pars will only be downloaded if repairs are needed. Perfect! This is how I wanted.

Scenario 2: The rars and pars from a single NZB is loaded into TWO separate lists: one for rars and one for pars. In this scenario, every single pars will be downloaded regardless if repairs are needed or not. This is not ideal since I want to save bandwidth.

I tried to solve the issue by moving the par set to Wish List, however, if I close Newsbin before finish downloading all the rars and then reopen Newsbin at a later time, the entire list will get filtered out as failed downloads.

Scenarios 2 is not meant to happen - Newsbin is meant to associate these two entries. In my experience it does a lot of the time but not always. This is something that Quade is always working on improving.
