Title: Help with Par2 Check and unraring
Post by: jclark on August 26, 2007, 04:36:53 am

Hi,
I've downloaded quite a few stuff yet nothing appears on my download folder when I open it in Explorer, when I open it through the Explorer sign in Alt.Binz I can see the files yet I cannot access them...

In the Par2 windows I have a Par2 which is stuck on "Checking files before repair" for more than 2 hours now.

My log:

Edit:
Forgot to mention I cannot import more Par2 files in the Par2 window, I keep selecting them but it just doesn't add.

The log indicates problems connecting to your server.  Double-check that you've entered the server address and login details properly (after checking that the server is actually online, of course) and/or try a different server.

The other problems I'm not so clear about.  You say that you can see the downloaded files in the Explorer tab but can't access them?  What do you mean by 'access'?  What exactly are you seeing in your download folder?

As for the PAR2 checking problem ... restart Alt.binz with Setup > PAR2 > 'Recheck all PAR2 sets on restart' enabled and see if that helps.  Any messages in the log about this?

I can't see the files when I use explorer, the only way I can see them is when I click on Explorer through the Alt.Binz program and then when I try to open a rar file for instance I get this message:
http://www.planetnana.co.il/psychoticmicro/error.zip
I couldn't post it as a picture due to dumb host so I had to zip it.

Also, as I explained before in this picture you can see the same folder twice, in the explorer it shows it's empty yet in the program it shows the files.

1. Update to a newer version
2. Since you're on vista either run as administrator or install alt.binz somewhere else (not in Program FIles)

Seems to be the Vista virtual store thing again.  Try checking in the Users folder instead for anything Altbinz-related, that's where all changes to Program Files folders go after the initial install.  And then do as rdl suggested. :)

The version is downgraded since I thought it might be related some how, had the recent version before.
Will try now the advice you gave me besides that.
Thanks!

Edit:
Found them in the virtual store in users folder! thanks alot for the help guys!

I still didn't manage to figure out how come one of my downloads is stuck on the "Checking files before repair" for hours now, any suggestions for that?
