How to move one file to top or to bottom when expanded

Postby 737mechanic » Thu May 17, 2012 1:50 pm

When I am downloading a large file and it is compressed with multiple .rar files such as .01, .02, .03 and so forth sometimes I will be missing one file that completes the set and when I load the main large file back up and expand it so I can see all the rar files so I can download just the one single file I need I can't figure out how to move the single file in the set to the top or to the bottom. I am forced to download the entire thing again which is a waste of time and bandwidth. The older versions worked perfect but this new format where the main file can be expanded and collapsed isn't worth a crap if I am not going to be able to move the single files up or down.

Any tips or let me know what I am missing here.

If you load the data into a listing at the top. Posts, NZB files or search, then hit the + icon to expand the compacted set. You can add any of the files in the set of files to the download list individually.

Conversely, if you add the entire set and download it to the same folder where the rest of the rars are waiting, it won't re-download all the files, it instead downloads the first chunk of each file and then verifies that the file is already downloaded. Then goes onto the next file and checks it
