I’ve made some quicks tests with latest unrar binary and Macpar Deluxe par2 64 bits binary :

This little script can help you to do the same tests and compare times with binaries included in my last build… if you want to play.

#!/bin/sh
FILE="folder/some"
echo "Repairing with new par2 64bits"
#removing some parts to have something to repair
rm $FILE.r0[01]>/dev/null
time par2/par2 r $FILE.par2>/dev/null

echo "\nRepairing with old par2 32bits"
#removing some parts to have something to repair
rm $FILE.r0[01]>/dev/null
time par2/par2old r $FILE.par2>/dev/null

echo "\nUnraring with new unrar 3.70"
time unrar/unrar e -o+ $FILE.rar>/dev/null

echo "\nUnraring with old unrar 3.66 beta"
time unrar/unrarold e -o+ $FILE.rar>/dev/null

Results : with my config (macbook pro santa rosa 2.4Ghz with 2Go Ram), there no signiticative speed improvements…

a zip file that contains everything needed to test is available here

Have fun !

My first contribution, this dmg contains :

• SABnzbd for OSX 0.3.3 (compiled in MacIntel/Leopard… sorry for PPC/Tiger users)
• Sources
• a growlnotify script

To enable growl notifications :

• unzip the SABnzbdGrowl.zip included in the dmg
• put the script and the growlnotify bin in your download directory (or anywhere else)
• edit the path in Config/Directories/Post-processing script field in the SABnzbd options (ex : “/Downloads/growlnotify.sh”)
• enable +S switch on your downloads 

Hope you like it…Thanks to br41n.com to show me the way and sabnzbd.org for their great work !

You will find here my contributions to some osx projects.
