AutoPAR confusion

Postby bruce73 » Mon Apr 04, 2011 4:14 pm

I'm still confused about how to use AutoPAR with version 6. If I disable it for large files, it's impossible to move the .par2 file to the head of the line to run it manually. What happens is that the entire parset is downloaded, so that's no good. If I enable AutoPAR, but don't let it un-RAR, It finishes the main file download and the parset is paused -- I'm guessing this is correct behavior, but how do I know that it has PAR'ed OK and that there are no errors -- just by virtue of the fact that it has finished downloading files? That would make sense, I guess, but I would like to have a confirmation box or something to verify.

What happens if both AutoPAR and un-RAR files are enabled, but the file is passworded? Sorry to be so thick about this. :wink:

You can right-click the entry and select Properties - that will give the par block state.

It'll repair, then sit there waiting for you to manually unrar and supply a password.
