Took my own advice and downloaded episode 2000-12, Hartlepool, and as
I expected, I did get the complete set of good rars and extracted a
good, usable .avi. Even though they had the incomplete icon and a
nasty-gram in the message section reporting an encoding error when you
downloaded the rar. But......
For some reason, rather than downloading all RARs in a single folder,
it downloaded each RAR in it's own folder. All 47 of them. Which
meant, I had to transfer a--l--l f--o--r--t--y s--e--v--e--n of
them, one at a time, into a single folder, and extracted from there.
Why each RAR went into it's own folder, I don't know. Don't usually
get those results in Agent 8 downloads, but it did on these uploads.
Perhaps there's some setting which needs tweaking that will resolve
that. A real nuisance, at the moment.
But....those uploads are complete, in spite of the icon. In fact, when
I used the accompanying nzb to download into a different folder, I did
not get the incomplete icon.....but, alas, did get all those separate
folders.
So.....yes, you can get the video file, but yes, it will be a bit of
a headache transferring all those rars out of their individual
folders.
If any Agent 8 users have found a folder setting to avoid those
separate folders (in such rare instances), please pass along your
discovery. Thanks.
