After restarting Newsbin it downloads par2 again

[billynews]

Hi,

I don't want to annoy you but here's another issue:

- add something with a par-set to your download queue (don't finish downloading)
- stop and exit Newsbin
- run Newsbin again

Now, the small par2-File gets downloaded again.

And I've got a question: if I exit Newsbin while it is extracting something (UnRAR)
does it finish unrar or does is just terminate the process and leaves maybe a
corrupted file?

Best regards,

billy

It terminates the process. It should start over with the extraction the next time you restart Newsbin.

I changed it to delete the duplicate par. It's the downloading of the small par that triggers the state machine so, that's why it does it every time.

It terminates the process. It should start over with the extraction the next time you restart Newsbin.

thx for the answer.
I was asking because of the crashes - but it's simple to identity: if the RARs are still present, UnRAR didn't finish.
