Last night I started to download a DVD and and checked "Finish all tasks and shutdown Windows".
Well, it did shutdown Windows in the usual way, but without unpacking (repairing I don't know, but all the pars were still there), while I expected it to shutdown after unpacking.
Unpack with automatic shutdown
try to check your settings and whether the rar set was repairable.
the shutdown option is connected to unpack, it checks whether there is something in the unpack queue and ensures there is nothing to auto delete or examine before allowing program exit.
when you restarted did you see those par2 files in the unpack pane or they were cleared automatically, just if not it might be something in the settings.
otherwise (after checking your settings) are you able to reproduce it?
say, if connection has been lost and all article tasks went to errors there is nothing to do and it will exit, it could be an explanation.

UE synchronize with the actual file content in folders on start so if you deleted all you wouldn't able to conclude much after restart.
when you restarted UE there was no tasks at all? no other files were marked for download?
i though maybe i missed something, but on the second look got nothing again, it doesn't check tasks ready to be incorporated into unpack pane, but first it does check there are still save tasks and there must be a save task still alive in your scenario (which created the unpack entry to include into the unpack pane).

I am pretty sure there weren't any tasks left, when I restarted UE.
Just now I retried the scenario with a DVD and all worked fine.
Now I think the oddest thing about the other download, was the fact UE didn't skip the pars, when there were plenty.
In fact, UE behaved completely (holy shit, now I remember something),
I wanted to say, behaved completely as if there was no unpack-feature at all.
I remember at a time I had the old UE.exe (v1.997) and a renamed UEv2.0.exe in the same folder and..and..maybe.. , what can I say more?

it is likely it was v1997 then, apart from the unpack pane and the unpack menu entry you could easily miss the difference.
the change was pretty concentrated and unpack is integrated in such a way that you don't need to do anything to make it work.
v2.0 has a different icon mostly because of black vista task bar background, but I didn't change the icon in v1.998 so v2.x will be easily to discern from v1.x

It happened again and now I first looked into it, before unpacking.
The reason is/was I downloaded and saved the first 40 rars of a DVD to a certain folder and the remaining rars to the same folder, but this time mapped as a networkdrive.
So they all end up in the same folder, but UE isn't aware of that and in the unpack pane I see 2 "different" unfinished downloads.
If I, like last time, would have unpacked and deleted all the files, before opening UE to investigate, I would never have known what had happened.
