I'm running 6.51 and I'm finding it difficult to tell the status of items that need to be unrar'd.

When I download a bunch of stuff after the downloads are done there are still things int he "Downloading Files" tab. The status and the current progress bar show me some information but I see nothing happening. Is there any way to "zoom in" on the activity or sort so I can see what the program is doing?

After awhile the failed unrars just sit there but I don't know if it's finished.

thanks for any info

Right click Properties will tell you the PAR state.

Is there a way to see which one it's working on?

I have about 60 in the list and I don't see any bandwidth being used. I don't know if I should start examining them or wait longer until it's finished.

You should see a progress bar on the one it's working on. My guess is that the ones left are too badly damaged to repair so, Newsbin is waiting for you to do something about it. That's when you check the par status.

Yes I see the "Current Process" but there's about 60 so I'm never sure if they've all settled down.

Sometimes I see movement in the status column but normally the "N" column is incrementing so i figure the program is up to something but I'm not sure what.

What do the colors mean on the current process bar? I see bars that are all purple and stopped and then purple and red and stopped. Others have no progress but bandwidth has stopped.

I also see others as bright blue and dark grey.

is there a place that describes what the colors mean? That might help.

It's just counting down till the next retry.

Have you done what I suggested and checked the PAR state?

You really ought to be running 6.53.
