Usenet filename doesnt match downloaded file

After your edit, this is the appropriate duplicate : you can't set the filename for a FileStreamResult , use the File Stream, String, String overload.

But you don't have to instantiate a stream manually, File String, String, String does the same internally, so you'll have to use less code. I updated my answer. Is it working now? Please try to search for errors.

See How to fix 'Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents'. Does that also happen when you kill all Excel instances in your task manager before running this code? Show 4 more comments. This happens to both rars and par2 vol files.

Also par2 vol files will all be named differently from one another so they do not recognize each other. When I double click on the par2 file it will be able to rename most files but if any need repair which many do they are not renamed and the post shows as missing many blocks because the files that are not renamed are not having their blocks counted.

I have had to manually rename by trial and error all the rar files which were not renamed, which takes a long time. Please tell me there is another way. Reference this post in the email. Newsbin doesn't do on the fly renaming anymore. I mean newer versions of Newsbin.

If the PAR says one name and the filename is some other name. Newsbin notes the filename and then does a rename after all the files download. The problem with renamed and obscured files is that it removes one layer of PAR files ability to ID the files to know they belong to the set of files.

If the first chunk of the file is missing AND the filename is incorrect, it's difficult to actually include the file in the set.

Re: Obfuscated files being renamed as they download by Quade » Mon Mar 13, am Ok here's the issue. I've thought of a way to improve the PAR par by defaulting to using the par information from the other files even if a damaged one can't be id'd.

In your case, you might want to install QuickPar and then double-click the PAR file and then manually import the mis-named damaged files. Otherwise, keep reading. In a newsgroup post, there are designated areas for several things such as: the posting date, the poster, the newsgroup, the size of the post, the subject, etc. But there is no place for the name of a file that might be attached to the post.

So when a program looks in the subject for a filename, it cannot simply pick it out like the date. It has to analyze the subject and try to guess what the filename is.
