Unpacker - Automated WinRar/WinZip Extracting Tool

[xje4bv]

Heavy downloaders have probably realized that most movies when downloaded via torrents are always compressed into 14 MB+ .rar files. This is very annoying especially when you have downloaded lots of movies and would like to extract them in one go. For the past weeks, I have downloaded around 30+ movies. And all of them were in the 14 MB .rar format. Since my computer isn't really very fast, I decided to unrar each file one by one, coming out of my room occasionally to unrar the next file, which was indeed a hassle to me.

Then, I found Unpacker which allows you to extract large quantum of archives. This program makes a queue of every rar added to the list and extract them one by one. This way you can peacefully play your games (or sleep) while extracting. It also have optional functions to cleanup (removing archives after extract).





Latest:

• Zip-support added!
• Possible to add archives in archives directly to the queue
• Added option for ignoring the found window and directly extract everything it find
• Made the cleanup functions smarter, and fixed a small bug in the renaming feature

Standard:

• Now possible to save unfinished extraction queue to file on exit and reload it on startup (or a crash)
• Logfile support added
• Also possible to rename the directory you’ve extracted from
• Possible to pause/resume on Unpacker & Autocopy
• AutoCopy can now operate in quiet mode
• Possible to set thread priority
• Autoscan directories by given interval
• Check autoscanned archives against the SFV file
• Automatic adding to queue when archive is equal to SFV, so you don’t have to
• Recursive scan of harddrive anywhere in Explorer for archives
• Archives can be queued for process
• Each archive is extracted one by one
• Possible (optional) to clean up the archive files after use

Basically, you just scan any given directory for rar files and it will prompt you with a notice of all the rar files contained. Then, you have the option of extracting them one by one. The normal Winrar and Winzip does not have this function of creating extraction queues.



Another alternative which I just discovered minutes earlier: ExtractNow

I actually had this in queue for quite a long time to post it in the blog.

It's because I download quite a lot of mp3 albums (remixes) and each albums are archived in one zip package. I didn't have time to extract and organize them that's why until today it's still pending :P

Great tool which I am sure it will work.
