Often times, Grabit will automatically unrar what I've just downloaded which is what I come to expect but on a few occasions, it doesn't, leaving me to manually extract it myself. Why is that?

Mine is set not to extract a file that doesn't have pars, that setting is by default.
So, I am guessing that's what's going on with yours too.
You're right.
I'm relatively new to NG's so this question might be silly but why wouldn't I want a download with no pars be automatically extracted.

Because there is nothing to check it against for errors.
The default action is to check the file for errors using the pars, extract the file, and then delete the pars and RARs.
If you have the RARs and do it by hand and there is an error but there is no pars, there is still a chance that the RAR archive has a recovery record that can be used to repair the file set by hand.
Thnx for clarifying that.
Now where would I get such recovery record?there is still a chance that the RAR archive has a recovery record that can be used to repair the file set by hand.

First, I would just see if the file extracts without errors.
If needed it's embedded in the archive if there is one. In WinRAR, there is a icon for repair - not every set have one).
Noted. Much obliged.
