First off, are you still using your ISPs free news server?
"unpared" isn't a word. Not sure what you're referring to there.1) I have alt.binz on my PC and on my laptop, i have one file about 8gb on my pc, i donwloaded it 100% complete and it unpared itself successfully. howeverwhen it got to unraring it ALWAY gets to 56% and freezes everytime at that exact point.
I believe Alt.Binz default settings tell the program to put the PAR files last. If all files in the batch are successfully downloaded and the auto unrar goes accordingly, it doesn't even download them. If there is an issue, I believe it either downloads them or leaves them queued.
Just b/c you show 100% of the batch as downloaded, doesn't mean you even had all the necessary files queued. (i.e. - of 100 rar files, only 75 were queued. When finished, Alt.Binz shows 100% complete but unable to extract)
This explains a few things.2) Also with my laptop i have downloaded a 4gb group of files, but i had not installed quickpar, so when my download finished, i dont think it has unpared itself (still using alt.binz) and the file is sitting there with a red par2 icon, i installed quickpar but nothing has changed. what can i do here?
QuickPar isn't going to do anything on it's own. You need to run the program. That will give you all the information you need. Quickpar will tell you if you're missing and blocks or files. If you're missing a little, Quickpar will fill in the blanks for you. If you're missing a substantial amount, Quickpar will inform you that you'll need to locate those remaining pieces to complete the unraring process.
What sort of files are not downloading? As stated before, I believe Alt.Binz has some files set to auto-pause on startup. Check these settings:3) i left my laptop downloading using alt.binz and when i came back it stopped downloading, it was only until i clicked something did it start downloading again, i have noticed this a few time with alt.binz, is this a common bug, is there a fix?
