Downloading while extracting?

Hi

Not sure if this feature is already implemented, but I couldn't find it. I wasn't really able to come up with anything in my searches either.

I am looking for a way to make SAB verify (and possibly extract) while the downloads are happening. Like when sab has detected file.r00 has finished downloading, it will move on to download file.r01 and run the verification/extraction on file.r00

If sab could be programmed to verify and extract the completed archives within the entire .nzb as they are downloaded, this would save a huge amount of time after the download has completed. It would almost make your files ready instantly.

The extracting part, SAB would need to wait until the next archive is ready, but I don't see that being a huge problem.

Could/has something like this be implemented? I know it would use up some more power, but that's not something I need to worry about.

Thanks

It could only work when files are perfect and need no repair.
Other than that, it is way too complicated to implement,
especially because unrar is a separate program.
