NewsLeecher v3.9 Beta 1 with fully automatic RAR and PAR2

[tesco]

I've got a friend that is just about to get into Newsgroups, and I need to tell him what to do.

With this new feature of Newsleecher, will he also still have to install Winrar and Quickpar, or is that all taken care of with the new Beta version (he's not too techie, so I don't want to overload him)

pretty much toaken care of but if there's a problem with newsleecher extracting it, which sometimes there is, you will need quickpar and/or winrar anyway.
He can start with just newsleecher and if he has problems you tell him to try quickpar/winrar.

I'm beginning to think that the Repair N' Extract feature just really isn't ready for prime time yet... Just yesterday after getting a larger download it tried to unzip but literally created about 8000 empty directories before I noticed there was an issue. Then other times the prog will just get stuck on testing the archive until I end up having to close the program. Ugh. I'm going back to AutoUnpack, the later betas were basically foolproof
