Trying to recover - backups are corrupted

Hi

Before I absolutely borked my system trying to be "clever", the way Newsbin worked for me before was that if I went onto sites like Drunken Slug, and clicked on an nzb, it opened Newsbin and downloaded the show into a folder in my pc. But after the borkage and reinstallation, the nbi file I did have in a different location does nothing when I load the backup on restart. I have managed with a lot of guessing and swearing managed to get Sonarr and Newbin talking to each other and loading straight to the folder, like before. First picture

But if I click on an nzb in drunken slug it just downloads straight into the folder WITHOUT making a subfolder. The settings for newsbin are shown in the included screenshot. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it.

Also a less important thing, between clicking on an nzb file and it downloading on Newsbin, there's like a pause of about 20 seconds before it appears in the main Downloading tab in newsbin....

Any help would be gratefully appreciate by me, at my age things don't come as easy to me as they did before.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly but it sounds like you need to add $(NZBFILE) to your UnRAR Folder - same as in the Download folder.
Check all Unrar-Folders in Setup, NZB Options, Remote NZB Interface

P.S.: If possible put your Download- and Unrar-Folder on different drives. This makes the Unrar-Process much faster. If you don't care how long it takes to download something, leave it as it is.

Yeah this.

I don't know if 6.82 can handle most modern NZB files. I'd suggest upgrading to the latest beta.

I removed one of your images. It was a bit too revealing.
