Hi,
so Alt.binz usually renames all the rars after downloading. But it has become more often than not in the last time that it doesn't do that for all files. I just downloaded two collections, one with 58 files, one with 63 files. It did not rename 8 in the first and 3 in the second pack. Meaning I have to manually do it or otherwise can not unrar. Is there any fix for this? I can't find an option to disable renaming (as a workaround, because I actually don't need the renaming, rars get deleted after unpack anyway)

I haven't noticed any problems myself and there is nothing in your post that could help me trace the problem...

No idea what I should provide.
Is there an option to disable the auto renaming of rar files? I mean the renaming from some random letter/number order into name of the collection. Haven't found the option myself. That would also work around this issue.

I believe it's the PAR2 checking that is renaming the files, so you could disable that if you don't want it.

But wouldn't that also disable repairing files, leaving my with broken stuff?

I would really like to supply some logs or whatever to help fixing this.
Deleting par2.exe and unrar.dll (so they get auto-repaired) does not work.
It is completely random whether files are not renamed correctly and if they aren't, how many are affected.
Disabling par2 altogether is not a solution as well, since this also disables auto-unrar. And, well, it won't repair the files of course.

Are you saying that same nzb behaves differently everytime?
Please check one more time before answering. You can upload detailed log of the nzb downloading somewhere and then send me the link via PM.

No, I was saying that it's different for each nzb. Sometimes I don't have problems at all, sometimes it's 5 files, sometimes 15, sometimes 1.
I did not try downloading the same nzb twice, but I can do so and see what happens. I report back.

Are you talking about how the subject for all the files is standard (like abc.part1.rar and so forth) but the files download at "dlkjasal" and 'thalsdw" and so on? I have the same issue. I usually find an nzb file that doesn't have the issue but I just got tired of looking and rename the smallest file to a .par2 file which corrected the other archive files.

If OP is talking about the same thing. The files are not named for what the subject is, but what the description is? does alt.binz have an option to force files to be named as subject instead of description?

I want to report back on that issue.
It was definitely not an Issue with alt.binz, but some random issue with my Windows setup. I built a new pc and thus, set up Windows from scratch and since that, the issue is completely gone. Using the same Alt.binz installation (folder) as before.
