Default download folder won't auto-clean

[Smeghead]

hello guys - first off wonderful job on the prog - seems i have the same problem described ! downloads will auto UNRAR but the prog will not UNRAR to the desired unrar directory and will not delete the Rar archives after a successful unrar - seems to be a bug - will try out the NZB directory some1 advised above and will post the results here.
using version 0.25.0 27/09/2007

cheers

i think most ppl who have noticed this problem must of played around with options after starting a download .
i tried what the poster b4 said about unticking the option "make nzb subdir" and it solved the problem - this was done while NO downloads were active or initiated in pause - CLEAR SCREEN . so i said to my self - bah the program must of needed a fresh restart / no downloads in session to initiate the changes made in the options - so i rechecked the MAKE NZB sub directories - restarted the prog - and started a new download session with a new imported NZB - Lo and behold - the prog beautifly downloaded with a nzb sub dir , unrared , deleted archives and empty folder and transfered the unrared file to the proper directory assigned ! BEAUTY  
So i guess  Some Unrar/DIR options settings require : A. No downloads initiated /NO  nzb imported/ NO download paused   or B. A Program Restart after Changing settings when.

Hope this helps

It's B I made an error in 0.25.0. As a result, unrar settings do need program restart. Already fixed.

hello everybody!

first of all, let me say that i just recently decided to try alt.binz and i have to say, it's the best newsgroups program i tested so far (better that sabnzb, grabit, newsleecher)

there's only one little thing that bugs me. i have the same issues like the threadstarter.

i tried the restarting tipp mentioned above and voila - the rar and par files were deleted.

however, the folder itsself still won't be deleted. i suspect it's because inside the folder there's a file left (e.g. an nfo file)?

how can i make sure that the folder gets deleted once everything is unrared?

thanks for any help!

try "move to Unrar folder" in Setup->Unrar and set "*.nfo" to move

or just don't download the nfos (Setup->NZB ->"Import as paused: nfo files")

thanks for the quick answer! I'll try the second option...

btw, when i checked the box in the options menu you mentioned, i saw that by default the par files are paused as well.

i'm curious: does this mean in case of an incomplete download i have to trigger the download of the par files myself or is alt.binz similar to, say, hellanzb in that regard? what i mean: will it start to download the paused par files automatically once it's clear the rar archives need repair?

No, yes, yes.

   you're not a fan of too many aren't you? thanks a lot though.. it seems alt.binz really seems to be what i've been looking for...

Well seems it's still not fixed in 0.27.0, same problem here.

Seeing as you're a 'Registered User' rather than a 'Contributor', you don't have access to 0.27.0, therefore you're still using 0.25.0.  You'll need to donate to get versions after 0.25.0.

Well seeing i just clicked the info button in altbinz and it says 0.27.0 even while the titlebar gives 0.25.0 that is maybe a new bug ? :-) Or shoud i call it an undocumented feature ?

[cr4zyfr4g]

lol, that is no bug,

Version button shows newest build

Titelbar shows current version

More than enough time wasted on this topic, methinks.
