Unpack with file of same name in directory keeps incomplete file

Post by magoo005 »

Occasionally I'll partially unpack a file so I can start watching a video before the entire nzb has completed downloading.  However if I'm watching the file when the download completes.  The partial file, not the complete file is copied to the complete folder, and is left in the incomplete file.

This means that all pars and rars are deleted, but the complete file is never extracted and only the partially extracted file is left.

It would be nice if the behavior was to throw an error that the file already exists in the folder and have a failed folder with all the pars and rars to show up in the completed folder.

I'm running version 0.4.12 on Vista.

Your not supposed to look at the files in the working folder.
That's not something that's supported in the current design.
We will look at this for a later release but that will take a while
because right now we're too busy with getting release 0.5.0 ready.
