continue par checking when using the nzbplay option
« on: November 20, 2010, 09:24:27 am »
First of all, I love this program and have been using it for years now. What I would realy like is an option to be able to continue par checking even when using the nzbplay option. Quite often when using NZBplay, a corruption appears in the files say after watching 40% of the file. At this time the rars are already fully downloaded and the recovery files removed from the download tab (they were pauzed and I use the cleanup function). For me to recover the corruption, I have to find the nzb again, add it to download on pauze (else the cleanup function will just remove it again...), go to the par tab, remove the par file and reload it again to start file checking, unpauze some recovery files manually as it will not auto/unpauze them when loading a par file manually and unrar the repaired release. This process takes a lot of extra time which can be easily saved by an option that does all that in the background.

Why automatically cleanup after download? Leave the par2s alone for a while, you might need them. I used to do a manual cleanup regularly when there were too many completed downloads and it was difficult to find one specific without a sort option, but did you notice the new filter in the queue tab ;)? Now I only have to cleanup once a week or so and AFTER checking if everything in the queue went fine. You could also use the option to always check pars when program starts (assuming you didn't cleanup), close and re-open Alt.binz.

But yes, it's a nuisance and +1 on the request to check downloaded rars for corruption after unrar and while in nzbplay.
