Autodownloading of PARs

Postby Bagman » Thu Apr 19, 2012 8:59 pm

Newsbin used to put the PARs in the queue and download what was needed, but now it seems no matter what switch I have set, it just downloads them first, long before the other files have finished.

What switches do I need to have set in the AutoPAR section to have the PARs just wait until they're needed?

TIA

In the autopar options, you might want to disable aggressive mode and uncheck "Disable Automatic Par Unpausing"

This will only apply to new things you add to the list though most likely.,

I've been finding this with the latest versions and I've had neither of those two options checked. Any other possibilites?

Newsbin is more aggressive about downloading PARS than before. If it detects problems, say an unrar fails after a successful repair, it downloads all the PAR files.

If you have autopar disabled, it downloads any file you add to the download list so, if you disabled autopar and add files to the download list, they all get downloaded. With autopar disabled, there's an option to send the PARS to the wishlist like in 5.59.
