Save par2 list together with the queue, not just on exit
« on: October 12, 2010, 10:55:06 pm »
Please, you got to make the par2 list save periodicly just as it happens with the queue list.

Once more, after leaving alt.binz on for days, it happened of the windows die on me for whatever reason. After reboot unfortunetly the par2 list is just way too old to be useful! I got manually remove old entries and search the download dir to see what needs to be checked/repaired, do that externly, and then unrar them, all manually, because if I import the unrar dir would be just wrong, plus all the time to find and recheck files that had already be checked and just hadn't been downloaded the repair blocks yet.

And please, don't tell how this is not a pain for you as everything is just peachy for you. Just because it is not a ploblem for you doesn't mean it is not a problem for the others. I wouldn't have had the trouble of coming here to request trouble for others if it wasn't a issue. Also remember that some downloads can have many par2 in the nzb, and that the order not necessary makes it simple for when shit happens, ending up in having many par2 with like 1 block missing, but the repair files just being in the end of the queue.

It has been a pain for me for so long that I just can't take it anymore, you got to help me out, please.

A recheck button on the context menu would also be nice, but I totally can live without it.

Wow.

First: take a chill pill.

Second: your request is in the queue with all the others that are important to other people.

Third: if this is a common problem for users, they can +1 here.

I am calmer now.

I wasn't expecting priority, specially if this is a issue only for me, I just mean't to show how important it was for me. It just that I so used to unhelpful posts (not here, the other post was my first post here and I haven't really read many other posts here) that I skipped ahead and bursted away. Sorry.

And of course, this is only a issue on a crash, which takes days or weeks to happen (at least for me, either system wise or the alt.binz itself), but when it happens is just a pain. It would really makes things way simplier after a crash if this feature were implemented.

No probs, I have a whole box of chill pills if anyone else needs any. ;)  Oh, and welcome to the forums.
