The help file here: http://help.newsbin.com/index.php/V600- ... AR_Options does not match the current AutoPar options.
I am a bit confused about the options and how they interact with each other.

For example:
1. If AutoPar is enabled, what is the difference with "Send PARS to Wishlist" checked or not checked?
2. If I uncheck "Pause PARS and only download the ones needed for repair", will all PARS be downloaded before repair?
3. If I enable AutoPar, but disable "Automatically UNRAR complete Files", I can check or uncheck "Remove repaired but, not unrared sets in the download list".
---A. If it is unchecked, will no rar sets be removed from the download list after repair (even though they were downloaded)?
---B. If it is checked, will only repaired rar sets be removed from download list?
4. Would all PAR files always be downloaded in the case of unsuccessful repair?
5. Would all PAR files always be removed from the download list?

What setting would I need to use to get the following results;
1. Download all RAR files in the download list
2. Remove downloaded RAR files from the download list
3. Download necessary PAR files to repair downloaded RAR files
4. After successful repair, remove the PAR files from the download list
5. After unsuccessful repair, remove the PAR files from the download list and add them to the wishlist [instead]
(6. Note that I do not want UNRAR)

Anyone.....?

I think you want to leave unchecked Disable AutoPAR and check "pause PARS and only download the ones needed for Repair". Maybe you want "send pars to wishlist" checked but my stuff repairs and unrars just fine without having that "wishlist" thing checked so I'm not sure what it does.

I'm doubting you can get exactly that sequence of events, since things like the 'send pars to wishlist' isn't intended as a step in a sequential script, it was simply an option for some users that had requested to manually manage the whole autopar process and wanted the pars safely stuffed somewhere out of the way. Having said that, 5 is probably the only thing newsbin doesn't do right out of the box with default settings. AFAICT you've essentially described autopar. You shouldn't need to micro manage any further, unless you want to of course.

There's no mechanism for doing what you want to do. It's not going to defer repair or unrar till the end after downloading all rars from all sets in the download list (which is how I interpret your request). I think the closest thing to what you want it "disable unrar" but, leave everything else default. "Put pars in wishlist" only works if autopar is disabled.

There's basically three modes with a little variation within the modes.

1 - Download, repair and unrar

2 - Download, repair

3 - Download and do nothing.

Sorry, but I am still confused about the settings per Questions 1-5. I wish that the settings were explained in some help file somewhere...

From Quade's answer I am guessing that the answer to question 1. is:
1. It doesn't matter if "Send PARS to Wishlist" is checked or not checked (If AutoPar is enabled) ?
Is that correct?
What about questions 2-5?

Automatically unrar complete files

- that's pretty clear right?

Remove repaired but, not unrared sets in the download list

which is only active when you disable unrar. That seems pretty clear to me too. Remove means remove from download list.

Delete RARs and PARS on successful UnRAR

Ok, that's what it does.

Pause Pars and only download the ones needed for repair

If you uncheck this one, it'll download all the pars no matter what.

Aggressive Assembly....

If you have a really good server that never needs retries and you want Newsbin to just assemble what it has and attempt a repair, you can check this. I recommend leaving it unchecked to be honest.
