I have been using Alt Binz as my newsreader for some time now but my problem is that the auto-unrar feature is buggy and almost never works. I can sort of trick it into working again but it will quickly go back to not working.
I don't think that there is a fix for they haven't responded to any of the posts in their forum except to ask for a log.
I know that auto unrar won't work if the files are corrupted. It also probably won't work if the rared files are in a format it doesn't like. For example, sometimes I can just rick click on any of the files with Winrar and "extract here" other times I have to use 7zip and specifically extract it from the RAR file and not one of the numbered files.
However, I am talking about newly uploaded stuff that is in good condition, missing nothing and is easily unrared. Complete par files are included but not needed.
In fact, I have tested many of the downloads that it failed to unrar and tested them with Quickpar. Every single time Quickpar said it had 100% of the blocks and no repair was needed.
The interface and features of my news client means little to me. I suppose that I could eventually get into doing my own searches but that isn't too important to me. I don't care if it is pay or free and I don't care about support.
Thanks in advance.
