BenDover Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 heywas thinking if it would be possible, to add a feature, that when set, utorrent downloads a torrent file aa.rar, then when at 100%, it calls winrar, unpacks aa.rar to a specific directory, that have set in settings, but keeps the aa.rar file, in stock, for seeding. hope you understand what i mean, been searching for some type of third party software that could do what i ask, however, i have been uable to find anything.../BenDover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 If you open a torrents properties you can set a program to run when the torrent finishes downloading.winrar e -r "%D\*.rar" "%D\" for example, should extract all RAR's in that torrents directorys to the torrents main directory. You should look at WinRAR's help file though for different commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenDover Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 ok, didnt know that, however this means i have to add that line, to every single torrent file, manually, is there no way to run some sort of batch script? or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Select every torrent and open the properties dialog (Making it global/automatic has been requested, don't know about rejected) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 It was actually in the brainstorming stage for Ryan during 1.8.1 development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZitreXx Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm also looking for this feature so I would love if it could be embedded in uTorrent.And it would be perfect to have the option to either delete or keep rar's after unpacked, or to delete them after a specific ratio or uploadtime have been reached.

Ultima Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 A feature specifically for unpacking and anything related won't happen. WinRAR or 7zip should allow such operations via commandline. The only thing that'll likely happen will be a global run-on-completion, which can be used to run some batch file which proceeds to use WinRAR or 7zip (or whatever else) to unpack/delete the files.

BenDover Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 there is, as far as i know, an unrar.dll free, available to use in the above way, ie unpacking files after download.for downloading i also use a program called SABnzbd+, it has the option to down, par check, and then unpack, to a directory i set in settings, like so: download blabla-test.nzbthe par checks,then unpacks to *main download directory*\blabla-test\file.aviVERY helpfull.now i was thinking that utorrent might be able to do some of the same, but as i can see here, and from what everyone else i talked too said, it seems im a bit crazy for even asking so is there any reason why it will never be made?

Burningmace Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 It may be an idea to create a "command library" in uTorrent so that pre-created commands can be chosen from a drop-down box for torrent completion. It should also be "smart" and auto-detect the location of the binaries for certain applications (e.g. WinRAR, 7zip) using registry entries.For example:Unpack all compressed archives with WinRAR (detected: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinRAR\winrar.exe")would basically just call:"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinRAR\winrar.exe" e -r "%D\*.rar" "%D\"The user should be able to create their own custom commands and store them in this library.

thelittlefire Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Isn't the run-command already a combobox?... wait for "global run when completed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 A list of commands to select from has indeed been requested before as well. Why won't it ever be made so that µTorrent has a feature to specifically unpack compressed archives? Because µTorrent shouldn't care about what's downloaded. Because a generalized way to do it (via global on-completion commands) is an infinitely better and more scalable solution than "unpack my downloads on completion."

hermanm Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 There is also an command line tool called unRAR which can extract the contents of any .RAR file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_shay Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I know it's an old thread but I combined few solutions I found in the forums here and created a tool to extract the files when download completed and then clean up the folder after seeding finished.I put on CodePlex: https://utorrentextractor.codeplex.com/Instructions/requirements included.I hope it will be helpful to someone. For me it's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
