Can we get an ETA on the next version release?

Like full release or next beta? Full release, I'm not sure. Next beta, as soon as I get some things working.

Big issue is NZB's loaded to a post list get disconnected from any passwords encoded in the filename so, I have to re-write how passwords are handled when NZB's a loaded to a post list.

Dropping the NZB into the download list handles it properly.

full release not a big deal just curious Thanks for all your hard work!!

I figure as long as I'm putting out new beta's there's no pressure for a full release.

Thanks for all your efforts Quade!
Right, the betas are fine. Can't wait for the next one.

Per the other thread Beta 5731 works nicely. It has 2 issues that impact me:
1. Seems to download (all) PARs even when not needed in cases where, as you noted, "PAR2's that aren't grouped with RARS are now downloaded by default. Because Newsbin has no idea whether they'll ever be used". I know you have a potential solution: "File types that don't group are problematic. Maybe I should force the ungrouped PARS to download last in cases like that."

2. Display issue where, as you confirmed, it makes it look like it is stuck at 98% or 99% during the 'decode' step since the "The progress bar isn't reliable when using 7z to decode RARS."
For now will just leave the setting alone then (as opposed to changing to WinRAR) since you noted it is just a display issue with the progress bar, especially since you are trying to improve the 7z decoding speed.

My only other thing - biggest thing for me - is how I can stop my CPU from maxing out and temps jumping to red levels during most of the PAR repair process.

You might want to re-enable the internal RAR code. It should show proper progress for rars.

I was hoping for a speed boost using 7z to decode but it's not materialized in my tests. Internal RAR seems faster. Still it's useful for decoding 7z.

Thanks Quade. Let me try re-enabling internal RAR (for now at least) then.
