Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to stream/watch multipart rar files as it is downloading from usenet?

at the moment I know you need to download the first rar file completely before it will play in vlc, but as soon as it reaches the end of the file I need to reopen it in vlc so it reads from the other ones too (.002, .003 etc)

Release 0.6.0 has some experimental support.
First you need to set the hidden option "allow_streaming" (see http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-special )
After that, when you set a job's post processing to "download"
then at end of download the job will be flagged as failed and remain
in its temporary download folder.
This way you can finish watching without the files disappearing.
Later you decide to "retry" so that post processing is done or you can delete the entry.

The requirement for VLC to have the first RAR complete, we cannot change
