Pars download

Postby cj1067 » Wed Mar 09, 2011 12:08 am

If i click on a file from the internet search that is just a par2 file set and I don't have the any files associated with the the par set, newsbin will then download add the par2 files. Creating folders with nothing but par2 files. While I can see this may be useful from time to time. I does have the tendency to take up disk space. Maybe an added option, but have the option that Newsbin Loads the par-set into the download list but skip downloading it if there are no files for it to fix.

I consider that to be a user issue. Newsbin is just supposed to do what you tell it todo. While you don't want par only downloads, I can assure some people to.

6 works differently though, it downloads the first par file and then waits for you to download the rest of the files or delete the PAR from the download list.
