Hey guys, new times, new problems:


I have this huge download that i don't want to unpack on my current system, so while it downloaded about 50% i disabled the direct unpacking, but unrar keeps starting even though i disabled that option. Now my current workaround consists of a bash while loop killing unrar every 2 seconds. Is there a better way to achieve this?

- OS: Ubuntu 20.04
- Client: sabnzbdplus-3.3.1
- Browser: Firefox 91.0
- CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3632QM CPU
- RAM: 8GB

Do you have "enable_unrar" disabled, or really Direct Unpack disabled?
It might not be able to deactivate once it was started once..

I disabled the special option "enable_unrar" but it still started unrar. Seems like you said, there is no way stoping a download when it is started with this option.

So my while loop remains in place, lol

That option indeed doesn't work (will be fixed in 3.4.0), but you should disable Direct Unpack in Config > Switches. That will stop it!

Sorry, i think that reply was misleading. I meant, that i had direct unpack already disabled from the start of this conversation. I additionally disabled the unrar special option too, and both things didn't work. I will check on the next downloads in the next couple days and update this thread. Have a great day and thank you in advance for your work on this awesome tool!
