torrent rars/no rars seeding

[rbixrbix]

Hi Guys.

Im quite new to torrents - could you please help me out here.

When I DL torrents on my a210 one of 2 senarios happens:

1: as soon as i start the torrent the .mkv file is created with the same size as when the DL is finished. Can't see any unpacking of rars.
- the movie is ready to be played instantly
(when I seed this how can I share one whole file -- is there another place on the a210 where the rars is located or am I just seeding a whole file)

2: when i start the DL - all rars is created and no unpacking is done.
- I must unrar before the file is gathered.

I really apppreciate your help....!!!!!

BR,
Rasmus

Eee... What outcome have you expected? You can download all kinds of files via torrents, including, but not limited to, rars. If you download rars they are not unpacked by default, though auto-unraring can be done via custom scripting.
Maybe you are confusing torrents with NZB? I don't know much about NZB, as this technology is almost unknown in ex-USSR, but AFAIK it involves multipart rars.

Thanks for your reply.. I know NZB's - but this is torrents
I will try to make myself clear.

When i DL a torrent - im always used to get multiply rars - the I always unpacked them myself on my PC.
Now I got the a210. Im confused;
How can it be that some torrents consists of only one single file and other of multi rars. My knowledge tells me that I cant seed one single large file - as the torrent network is a p2p where you DL from multiply uses...

Here is my questions:
How do I config the rars to be unpacked automatic - with NZB's i edit the 'nzbget.conf' to call /share/.nzbget/unpak.sh
What to do with torrents...

Thanks a bounch for you reply...

BR,

Are you using Transmission?

If so from here http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...?tid=33467

I found

Q: I want to automatically unrar the downloaded content / unpak.sh
A: The current releases of transmission made here don't support auto unpacking. More information here: http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/1796

I don't use torrents I use NZB's so maybe if you're using a differnt program let the torrenters know and I'm sure they will help

It's not a rule that torrents are multiple rars, most torrents I download are single file torrents, like avi's or mp4 (this is downloaded on a computer).
Maybe the larger movie formats mkv, DVD-folders, AVCHD, BD are split into rars, but that's up to the uploader I think.

If you want to seed a large single file you can seed it, there's no limitation there. Just seed it.

Automatic unpacking isn't supported right after install, but like Roman said there was a script floating around somewhere on this board that could work. You might want to use the Search to find it.

I use the following script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the respective string for your device and comment the other
# For PCH 100 series:
# /mnt/syb8634/bin/unrar x -y -p- -o+ "$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME/*.rar" "$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME/"
# For PCH 200 series:
/nmt/apps/bin/unrar x -y -p- -o+ "$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME/*.rar" "$TR_TORRENT_DIR/$TR_TORRENT_NAME/"

It unpacks file(s) into the same folder as rars though you can change this.
