I have a lot of different downloads that are all multiple .rar files. Is it possible for me to drag them all into a folder and use a program to monitor that folder and extract them all one after another rather than me having to do it manually?

I've tried searching google but I couldn't find anything that did what I need

Not sure what you are saying by monitoring a folder, there are no software that monitors folders that I know of

If they are part files then you dont need to unrar them all one by one... just do the first one. They will all follow suit and you will be left with the .img, .iso or what ever file it should be.

As for doing this automatically after the download has finished... as stated theres nothing to do this that I am aware of.

I'm pretty sure you've got to unzip them individually.

Maybe try highlighting them all ... then they should extract one after the other.

I can only go off my experiences... and after everything that I have downloaded, lol. I have never had to do them one by one if they are all part of the same image file.

If they are all different files then yes you are correct... they will need to be done seperatly.

Most of the things I download (movies etc.) are split into multiple .rars. I have to right-click the first rar from each movie and start them extracting. I have to wait for one to finish before I can start the next one extracting. This can be real time consuming when I have 20 or so movies/tv eps to extract.

I'm looking for a way to auto extract them all one after another so I don't have to sit and manually do it
