Proper recognition & unpacking of multi-part 7zip files
« on: October 22, 2018, 03:38:20 PM »
every now then I've DLed posts, when automatically unpacked by AltBinz ended up as a 7zip file.  I figured that they were just posted that way, and manually unpacked the 7zip files to get the mkv file inside. It was just by chance that I discovered that the posts were actually multi-part 7zip files, which when properly extracted extracted the mkv file within.

It turns out that AltBinz isn't aware of possible multi-part 7zip files, so that AltBinz just automatically joins the multi-part post instead of unpacking the contents.

I don't know if it is possible, but if it is, it would be real nice if AltBinz was made aware of possible multi-part 7zip files, and was able to properly extract the content within instead of joining them.

One such post from about 4 days ago, which can be found using NZBindex, is   d3b7f159c20e4d15b1fa245a3e4f68af
