Actually, Agent 8 worked just fine on the RAR extraction, all of it
'hands off', as a matter of fact. (The repair and extract feature is
new with version 8; not present in earlier Agent versions). When I
found the files in my extraction folder the next morning - not RAR's
yet to be extracted, but the actual TS folders - it slipped my mind
that I hadn't actually done it manually (after years of doing so as a
matter of (necessary) habit.
That said, I gather WinRAR 5.x employs the new codec, which is likely
why your extraction worked normally, while users of earlier versions
did not.
