Is it possible to download all items in the queue, and then initiate post processing?

I run a Raspberry Pi, which grinds to a halt when unpacking, this in turn causes the downloads to slow. For me, the downloading is important, I'm finding that when unpacking & downloading the process is that crippling on the Pi, that my Downloads can run into the next day and this affects bandwidth.


I'm running the latest SAB.

This is not possible.
However, you can enable 'Pause download during post-processing', so that it is only doing 1 thing at a time. In terms of total time, this should be the same.

Some articles are very quickly removed from servers. I would prefer to delay post processing... Shame this is not possible.

This would be a nice feature. I have fast broadband in the office, so my notebook could download during the day, then when I bring it home (where I'm stuck with slow DSL as I live in sticks), process the files overnight.

Maybe you could just let it only do +Repair, so you are sure all the blocks are available and downloaded and then start the unrar manually at home maybe using some script?

@Safihre. I suppose you remove the old option "allow_streaming"?
That would help accomplishing what was asked here.

Indeed that's removed, with Direct Unpack now available the use-case seems no longer relevant.
(and the name would also be confusing a bit with Direct Unpack available)
