Hi

is a freeware utility that can be used to automatically download, repair, and unpack all RAR-, 7z-, zip-, TS - archives, or splitted files (e.g. *.001). Which is especially useful for usenet binaries.

AutoUnpack can automatically do this for us as follows:
  1. While downloading files from usenet, start AutoUnpack and tell it which folder it should monitor (your download folder).
  2. AutoUnpack analyzes this source folder to search for PAR2 files. It uses them to verify the downloaded files that belong to them. If some files are incomplete or missing and there aren't enough PAR2 repair blocks available, the program will show how many blocks are missing. It will analyze the folder again later (10 minutes for example).
  3. If enough PAR2 repair blocks are available AutoUnpack will repair the missing or incomplete files (if necessary).
  4. AutoUnpack will verify whether the repair was successful. If so, it will unpack the archive to extract the files.
  5. Finally AutoUnpack can remove the RAR and PAR files after extraction.
