I think there must be a bug somewhere as I have downloaded 12 (4-8gig) files and all 12 produced the “Error: Not enough recovery blocks, 600 more needed” of course sometimes its more or less than 600. I have downloaded about 30 files previously with only a couple files having this error.

Please help

Thanks

@NickfromFrance, I’m also looking for the same option. Auto shutdown when finished downloading. Have you found a way to make Unison do that?

I wonder if it’s possible with a script… and someone already wrote it.. who knows…

I must reiterate Todd’s comment from January. I occasionally receive an error message from Unison 2 when attempting to join Rar files: “Error: Not enough recovery blocks, 1 more needed” . I revert to using UnRarX and everything joins and completes the final output file without issue. For me, this is a good enough stop-gap, but it would be nice to have Unison handle it for me.

Unison 2 represents an awesome and sane way to deal with UseNet. The User Interface is beautiful and more importantly amazingly useable. Having worked on NewsFlash all those years ago, Unison represents everything a news client should be and more. Please buy it… it is worth it.

Nice version with Unison 2. However, is there a way to automate the shutting down as soon as it’s finished downloading? That would be great. Thx

Loving it! As with all of Panics software its top notch both in design and function. Panic is one of those companies you can trust in enough to buy new products sight unseen.

One small feature request….actually make it a ONE window interface.
That is let me dock the activity window to the right side of the main window. I love the summary in the transfers tab but I like being able to see what files are actively downloading and how fast. PS love the operations tab. Dave is the Man.

HOT DAMN, PANIC!

Just spent all evening checking out Usenet in Unison, and I don’t know how you’ve done it, but Usenet’s never been more interesting than when presented through Unison. I’m one of those strange beasts who still reads the groups as well as downloads, and Unison is about as close to perfect as a news client could be. The threading in the groups, the quoting of the text and colouring, the quick fades in and out from when you change views, all add up to incredible attention to detail and an experience never before seen on Usenet.

Also on the downloads, somehow Unison magically found an extra 100kbps of download speed I didn’t know I had (this is over SABnzbd+), which I won’t complain about, and while it doesn’t download the PAR2 files unless the file check fails, the whole PAR2/UnRar/Delete is totally seamless. In fact, the only single blemish I could find is a total non-issue: UnRar is noticeably slower than other clients, but as I say who really cares whether decompression is a little slower than normal? The point is that’s the *only* thing I could find that could be improved.

The only other thing that’s missing is closer integration to the Usenet ecosystem, outside of Usenet, again something I can’t blame Panic for not putting in this release given how much work has been put in already. For example, SABnzbd’s killer feature is because of Newzbin.com integration, so being able to a) search Newzbin, and b) download Newzbin bookmarks / RSS feeds for NZB files would really be the cherry on top.

But seriously, guys, well done. It’s freakin amazing stuff.
