Title: 'Quasi-Split' files with only a single part aren't renamed
Post by: thebeing on May 08, 2011, 08:45:49 pm

This is kind of a odd case, which is ultimately the fault of the uploader, but it would be nice if you could workaround the issue.

The following is basically what is happening:

The person uploading to Usenet appears to have a buggy script which automatically downloads batch torrents, splits all files, and then uploads to Usenet.

Usually this is not a problem since the files are quite large, but a problem with Alt.Binz arises when a file falls below the split threshold, since the small files are still appended with *.001 (i.e. filename.ext.001) by that person's script, even though they have only a single part. Alt.Binz doesn't know what to do with these single-part quasi-split files which have only had their extension renamed.

If you could add a fix to detect and rename these quasi-split files like you do with normal split files, that would be great.

How about a pointer to a post over private message and then I'll see what can I do.

It's fine here.

Again that case was covered with 0.38.1:
