This is a fully automated extracting tool. This is not a WinRAR or WinZIP replacement but quite a useful util when you want to extract large quantum of archives. The 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). You should try it, it is free and you’ll get a notice when a program update is available, that way you’ll always have the latest version. Other functions like minimize to tray, thread priority etc. are also available.

Odd, the autounpacker doesn’t seem to do anything for me on WHS. Unpacker finds the archives – but autounpacker just does a quick scan and nothing. Files not unpacked…nothing.
Should a window come up or something occur?
Thanks for your great program, Iâ??ve been using it for ages and I only found out today you have released a new version, so I updated from 1.3 to 1.5 and I have a question to ask you about the registry entries.
In the old version you have the registry entries for the right click menu â??Unpack using http://www.unpackerâ?, and â??scan with autounpackerâ?, which I edited to make the unpack shorter (menu is too long otherwise, for my liking), and the scan one I deleted cause I donâ??t need it.
But now I canâ??t seem to find these registry entries anymore with this new version. Could you let me where or how I can edit the right menu to shorten the name and delete the scan entry now please?
great prog thanks
is it possible to extract directly to a folder on hard drive without creating any subfolders in it
great new release!
please add ‘extract to’ user defined directory function! very helpful when extracting multiple season packs!
Thank you for all donations. Over time I could take a day off just to program on this 🙂
thanks
happy to donate
used the old version, loved it

1. No tar support, sorry
2. Autounpacker just checks the SFV files that are OUTSIDE of an archive. Others are ignored
The option to uncheck the SFV check needs to be disabled in the Autounpacker rather than Unpacker. If you are uncertain it doesn’t check it anymore restart AutoUnpacker.
Hi,
i just found this program and have some newbie questions.
1. Does this work on tar files also?
2. Autounpacker does not seem to do anything although Unpacker will detect the files in the archive. I have sfv check disabled as I dont have sfv files in all archives.
I found the option to uncheck the sfv check in unpacker, but it seems that the autounpacker still looks for it and doesnt trigger on archives.
pinkISH: Thank you, but that wasn’t the intension 🙂 The Unpacker was created to extract night-builds backups from my server. After a while several friends realize that it worked real good on other software. That is why the options in the this program is a little “different” than others extractors.
malaki86:
The fix “Created a SFV-checked option for Autounpacker so it will not rescan same SFV file again” will create a ###Autounpacker.SFV.OK### file. If this file is found it will ignore the SFVs in that directory.
I guess that will fix the problem of the uTorrent going into redownload because of sfv-file is missing.
Did you test the “extract to” right-click option on the “Found archives” too?
And did the password dialog work for you?
I haven’t tested yet, but has the Watch-Folder been fixed so that it now extracts and deletes properly from the watched folders?
this is AWESOME! it’s the best program for unpacking torrents and i love it that you’re still working on it! keep it up, lars!
Great! 🙂 I tested on my own server a lot before releasing..
Just confirming that UnPacker is working 100% on Windows Home Server. Great work.
Great to see the new release.I’ve been using this for years. I’ll send you a few bucks when I get back to work.Thanks for the great program and even more for not abandoning it.
The extract to a selected destination has also been added, yes… But where did your comment go? 🙂
Thank you very much! 🙂
I currently got inspired and found the bug regarding W2k3 and Windows Home Server. I’ll just finish off the password handling and a new release of Unpacker will be released.
I’m a late arrival to using this proggie; just want to say thanks 🙂
Sorry guys for lack of support. So little time. So many projects!
I will look into releasing the source code, but I dunno yet.
Dennis: I couldn’t get the bastard to run on Windows Home Server either… I’ll let you know if I manage too.
