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.
