Power grab never did any of this. No unpacking, no par checking. So I never missed it. I think that if unisson actually did all these things I'd have to get an imac and just devote it to downloading. All that file manipulation on 20-30 gb of downloads is no joke, even on a nice piece of hardware like my macbook.
I'd prefer to grab what I want and sort it later when I can devote all the computer's resources to it. Best, erik burggraaf A+ certified technician and user support consultant.
