auto-unrar

This is a quick and dirty command line tool used to automatically extract a rar file given the path to a rar file OR the path to a directory containing a rar file.

This is useful for torrent clients that can execute a command after a torrent has finished downloading.

Files are extracted to the same directory that the rar is located.

Usage

I've tested this with qBittorrent v3.3.3, but it should work with other clients as well.

1. Open the .sln file and compile the project
2. Copy the resulting binary bin/debug/auto-unrar.exe to the desired location
3. Copy the configuration file bin/debug/auto-unrar.exe.config to the desired location (same as the binary)
4. Edit the configuration file to point at the location of unrar.exe and desired log file path
5. Open qBittorrent, navigate to File > Options > Downloads
6. Check "Run external program on torrent completion"
7. Enter the quoted path to auto-unrar.exe with the %F flag:

"D:/auto-unrar.exe" "%F"
