If I may be permitted to jump into this discussion I have a couple of
suggestions/thoughts:
If you've upgraded from Agent 7.x to 8.x I would suggest that you
UNinstall Agent 8.x, wipe out the data folders completely & install a
fresh version of Agent 7.2 (which I think was the last version of
7.x).
I've been using Agent since version 4.x (per a suggestion from EG a
few years ago) and had faithfully upgraded to each successive new
version, including 8. "Megajoin" s/b renamed 'Megatrouble", IMHO.
I've found it to be VERY twitchy, unreliable and inconsistant at
joining RAR and other split archive files, even with it disabled.
After using 8.x for several months I did as I outlined above and went
back to Version 7.2 and have been using it since. Maybe when Forte
releases Version 9 I'll try that but in the meantime I'll stick with
what i have.
My 2 cents.
