Bypassing "unpause" for PARs

Postby rmason » Mon May 28, 2012 2:27 pm

Often I do RAR repairs manually (with QuickPar) and pause the PAR files I won't be needing. I noticed that sometimes, Newsbin will Unpause all the Pars, and if I'm not baby sitting the download, will take the time required to download them all. Is there a way to turn off "UnPause"?

It's not clear from what you're describing, but one thing you'll probably find useful is Options/AutoPAR Options/Send PARs to Wish List. It's for people that don't want to use Autopar and will shunt the pars automatically to the wish list, where they will never download on their own. You can download them should you need them.

You may want to check in the same options area that you don't have Pause PARs and only download the ones needed for Repair disabled. That might be the root cause of what you're describing.

DThor, I see I never thanked you for passing on the "Send Pars to Wish List" trick. It's a feature I had totally overlooked. I love it. It, in fact, won the "Feature of the Month" award. :)

Cool, np. There are a lot of options there, it's easy to overlook. :)
