unrar stopped as file already exists?

Hey!

i have version 0.4.9 on ubuntu 9.04 server platform

put a load of stuff to download last night and when it was being unpacked the process skipped because the files to be unpacked already existed, is there anyway around this?  i had to manually unpack them.

basically i selected about 7 nzb's from newzleech and asked it to pack them all into one for me:) but on download the files from the individual nzb's were all put into one folder. I was backing up some dvd's so when they were unpacked there was more than one VIDEO_TS folder which is where it got confused. i know i can get the nzb's individually, but its a hassle and i have a load more already queued;)

any ideas?

cheers!

The unrar program either overwrites or skips existing files.
Neither choice is optimal, but we chose to skip.
Unless we start unpacking rar-sets into different sub-folders, there's no proper solution.
I'm also sure that some people would object to creating sub-folders.

lol figured:)

no worries, from now on i'll have to grab nzb's individually to be sure.

thanx for confirming my laziness;)
