This one addresses the issues people have been reporting with AutoPAR getting in a state where it would show retries occurring and never finish. Overall, AutoPAR should be more reliable now. Release Candidate 6 only went to a few people reporting the issues. This one is labeled Release Candidate 7.

There was alot of testing and troubleshooting that resulted in the following changes:

• Backed off on the "aggressiveness" of the assembly mode in AutoPAR.
• Implement retries for renaming the temporary .NB2 file to the final filename
• Fixed potential crash issue for people with really huge download lists.

The download link is on the Newsbin Beta Page.

No unrar filters atm

Setup:
-download folder c:\DDD\
Options- NZB:
Add filename to download folder

AutoPAR:
- AutoUnrar
-Delete PARS
-Override Unrar to : E:\ZGG\
-Add a path prefix Unrar to a folder named for source folder

nzb name xxx999
1) i put nzb into a watch folder
2) NB starts downloading to c:\DDD\xxx999\
3)NB unpacks stuff and i have two folder

c:\DDD\xxx999\files*
E:\ZGG\xxx999\files*

Sometimes its only srr afv files that are left in a temp folder,(which is still no good, everything must be moved to override unrar path+folder after source folder
the last time i had all files present in both folders

Ideally NB shouldnt have anything left in c:\DDD\ i suppose, no leftovers

Topic says RC7 but download is for RC8.

Hmm, yeah, I released RC8 last night but forgot to make the forum post.

Thanks for the reminder.

Note that (although I have not tried RC8) RC7 still has the "retry forever" problem when a non-RAR file is missing from the PARity set (for example .nfo, .srr, .sfv) and no additional PAR files are available.

Is it possible to scan the results and if the only missing file is one with these extensions then attempt the extraction anyway?

I'll think about. I have to be careful this doesn't screw up other types of PAR sets.
