Hi Jim,

thanks alot for reporting this bug! It has been fixed in latest development code of the LottaNZB 0.5 series and will be released as part of LottaNZB 0.5.4. However, I cannot provide you with a concrete date.

The problem happens in code that replaces "unrar-free" with "unrar" in the HellaNZB configuration file, because "unrar-free" is unable to handle a major part of the archives found on the Usenet. You should be able to work around the bug by manually making this replacement. I'm not exactly sure what HellaNZB configuration file triggers the error, so you should check the following files (if they exist):

~/.config/lottanzb/hellanzb.conf
~/.lottanzb/hellanzb.conf
/etc/hellanzb.conf (unlikely to have caused the problem)

Make the hidden directory in your home directory ~ visible using Alt-H. In such a file, replace

Hellanzb.UNRAR_CMD = "/usr/bin/unrar-free"
with
Hellanzb.UNRAR_CMD = "/usr/bin/unrar"

and launch LottaNZB again. Hope this helps.
