Lost as always

I had to reinstall newsbin due to a harddrive failure. So when d/l some files say there's10 or so It has a par file with it but it puts it in the failed list and all the files are downloaded but each is put into separate folder it creates and when i look at them it will show each filename as the folder and then some are put into one folder with a couple files missing they are in other folders. I've never seen this before. My Main Download folder is this D:\downloads\$(LONGGROUP)\$(FILENAME)\
The unrar folder is the same

$(FILENAME) will make a unique folder for each file you download based on the filename. Is that what you really want? I'd remove that from at least the download path. If you want a unique folder for the unrar, I think it'll work. Using $(SUBJECT) might work out better.

Well I changed the Main Download Folder to this D:\Downloads\$(LONGGROUP)\ and My Unrar folder to this D:\Downloads\$(LONGGROUP)\$(SUBJECT) and it's working now. Now after looking at it. It was only happening with one certain uploader. It's weird that one Uploader was causing the problem. Probably the way it was compacted ?

$(FILENAME) is rarely used. I suspect it doesn't do what you think it does.

Well adding the $(subject) worked great. Thanks
