BUG: unrar stops too soon
« on: January 17, 2007, 02:02:41 PM »
Hi,

Just found out that Alt.Binz didnot unrar a download completely.
Download was 7 GB. Checked the directory where the files were unrarred, and saw a few files, with a total of 3,5 GB.

I checked the downloaded rar files with par2 file -> no errors.
When I opened the first rar I saw a few files more than the unrar-directory contained.  :(

The Shutdown option was ON. Was Alt.Binz still unrarring the files ??

Keep up the good work !!

Being a Delphi programmer, I've met this type of bug before. Most probably, the filestream-writing code can't cope with filesizes larger then 32 bit (meaning everything above 4 Gb will be lost or corrupted).

The solution for this must be made in code; the specific code should be switched from using 32-bit integers to 64-bit integers (both for file-position as for file-sizes).

Nope, that is not it. I'm using unrar.dll to extract files.

Eldoubleu you should check if alt.binz has finished properly after shutdown was initiated (log file) Also you should have checked if unrar status icon was ok(no errors) By looking at the code I think I cover that it will not shutdown while still unraring. Anyway I've added few more par2&unrar messages to log for the next time.

There were no abnormalities reported in the log file.

You mention an unrar status icon... :?:
Never seen this icon. Please tell me where to look.

It should be in Unrar column in par2 tab. Don't have it? Right click column headers and enable it.

You should have seen RAR icon for that particular release. Next time ...
