I can't say if it works for 7z or regular Zip files, but the vast majority of large archives is RAR.
I suppose you'd only need one thread to do this stepped download-Par-RAR operation for very large archives.

This function is already part of SabNZB I believe and I feel it would be a valuable feature for UE. As it is now, when downloading large archives (like a 50GB movie or game), it takes a long time to download, then PAR check and then unRar the archive. These functions can be done in parallel. As each...

It is not passworded, but simply obfuscated names.
SabNZB can deal with this, but UE not.
File added as example.

I've had this happen too, quite often.
I'll also pay attention to what nzb does this and report it here.

So I got a lot of downloads lately that didn't indicate a password and wouldn't unRAR. Turns out the password is INSIDE the NZB. It's apparently a long common feature of NZB's but rarely used, until recently. The NZB looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTY...

Unfortunately it seems UnpackMonitor doesn't work anymore and quite a lot of similar programs as well... forums down, error starting it up or no action whatsoever. Seems MS had changed a few things around or something and crippled many old software. Oh well, thanks for the tip though.

Hi Alex, I think this program will do exactly what I had in mind, uploading archives and have it imported into UE. Having another program and task running and the ‘risk’ of forgetting to launch it when I start UE is just a minor nuisance. Thanks for pointing it out to me :D Just out of curiosity tho...

In line with remote administration of UE I have the following request/suggestion. NZB's are very compressible due to it being just plain ASCII text. Sending a 31MB UHD movie NZB from a remote location can be a real pain when the connection drops (it happened more than once to me). When you compress ...

I did not try to download it to a separate folder, just the regular importing the nzb into the Import folder.

I disabled the require Par2 verification now, I'll see how that works. Thanks

I have noticed the same behavior and was wondering about this...

There are coded nzb's that UE downloads correctly and names them correctly but seem to not have the total number of files mentioned. As such UE does not know when the archive is complete and cannot determine when to unrar. This leads to complete archives that require manual unrar even if the auto un...

I have tested the test file you gave and can confirm it works as advertised. It delays the import by the set amount of time, all downloads are completed successfully. It appears as if UE looks at almost every file separately and applies the delay to that file while importing files it saw earlier and...

I understand now and will get right on it.
Appreciate it!

I’ll give it a try to see if the system works but just an extra 5 second delay is not going to make much difference. When the connection is really slow a UHD movie nzb of +-25MB might take more than 30 seconds to upload. Can’t you just make the delay up to a minute? Given the good compressibility of...

Excellent! I had to renew my subscription anyway, so I did! ;) You could also list it as a valued feature, to be able to download completely off-site. In the future perhaps certain configuration settings might even be manipulated remotely with uploaded config files/switches. But I'm just spitballing...
