Official download locations for required modules

For other platforms you will have to hunt around for complete packages or install from sources.
Many packages require a working GCC compiler installed on your platform!

Must-have utilities

unrar

We recommend release 3.90Final.
Linux users should use the official 3.90 release from the RarLab site.
Of the package only the unrar part is free-ware!

There are many unrar binaries for other platforms:

par2cmdline 0.4

We recommend the original version by Peter Brian Clements.
Official SourceForge archive

For some platforms (e.g. Centos 5.2) using the gcc4 compiler a patch is needed.
We provide the patched sources for your convenience.
Download original patch

There's alternative version by Chuchusoft, supporting multi-core processors.
It is usable, but when comes to supporting accented characters in filenames, it is not compatible with the
original Clements version.

Optional utilities

Open SSL for Windows

Most Unix systems have OpenSSL already installed.
Not so for Windows, you can get usable Windows binaries here.

Note that we do not use the above release for our Windows distribution.
We use the "g" release, although that one has some security issues (see security bulletin).
However, the later releases cause problems on Windows Vista and Windows 7 (at least they do in combination with SABnzbd).
