I've been running into nzb files with the term "xpost" at the end. UE processes and saves some of these sucessfully, but others fail. Apparently, some of them aren't rar sets but complete files, but most contain several independent files. UE downloads the segments, but they all have random...

Thanks. It appears to work. As I said in the email, this was a real problem. Those other things are minor annoyances.

None of the new nzbs I've downloaded in the last week or so work with UE. I see in a Reddit discussion that posters have adopted a new obfuscation method that is scrambling the contents of the nzb files. The result is that after a full-length download, I end up with nothing usable. I'm uploading an ...

The interface wouldn't allow me to attach an nzb file.

I've attached a cap of my settings (which haven't changed in years) and an nzb I just downloaded. Although the rar set was complete, UE downloaded all the par files and did not delete them after unraring the set. This doesn't happen all the time, just more than half the time. It's been happening for...

About 4 out of every 5 times I download a big RAR set, UE also downloads all the par files and keeps them whether it needs them or not. The only time it deletes the par files is when it does actually need them and performs a repair. Otherwise, they are always left intact in the download directory. T...

Over the years, I've had UE unrar duplicate copies of a file many times. Today, it was also doing something else others have mentioned in other threads. It kept unraring a file as it was downloading and then reporting that there was a volume missing. When it finally collected all the parts, it compl...

Thanks.

After upgrading to version 5.5.1 my download process has changed. When I select a rar/par set and hit ctrl-D I get my usual download dialog, but when I start the download it only loads the par file and I have to go through the whole process a second time to get it to start downloading bodies.

v5.1.2 -- It is now possible to set the maximum size of the quick filter and search service bars to less than the UE window width (View menu -> Size filter/search bars). I followed the instructions, and I get a little notice telling me I can resize the windows . . . HOW?! I see no handles to drag a...

Do you force unrar while the files are shown as damaged? If you redownload&save par2 files with UE into the same folder, it should be able to repair files as well, but it would mean also that the files were corrupted while being downloaded (third party antivirus, firewall, etc). Is the source o...

For a few months now, I am constantly running into the same problem. I will download a big rar set, and after all the files come in the result will be the message "bad crc or password" (or something like that). I am almost always able to repair these files manually by downloading (re-downl...

dcthom, I'm now seeing the same thing you're describing, download speeds dropping by half or more when UE does not have focus. in fact, what I said when I began this thread is not quite accurate (anymore?). If UE has focus when I minimize it to the desktop, the download speed will not change unless ...

I saw your thread dcthom, but you didn't specifically say it happened when you minmized the program so I started a new one. So you've continued having the problem since 2007? As I said, I never noticed it until recently, perhaps after the last version upgrade. I've been thinking of rolling back to a...

try to increase priority in UE settings I tried that, and it is still happening. I will try the Windows setting, but I do not understand what any of that has to do with the program being minimized. Other than UE, everything else is at idle. I've been using UE for years, and this only began happenin...
