I too was wondering if it was possible to realize this feature, but I think due to lack of processing power, this is hard to realize. But since you brought this issue up, I'd like to have it too!

Most preferably in the download section a option "decompress after finished download"

I've found unrar here, http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrar-arm.tar.bz2, and unzipped it and put the unrar executable in /usr/bin/ Works really well.

It's working now! :)

But the only problem I have now is that the files does'nt show in Windows XP if I don't set XP to view OSfiles and hidden files. How can this be?

I answer my own question...
I logged in to my NAS with Putty and typed chmod 775 file-name and the file showed up in Wndows.

Downloaded the unrar bin.
Log in to the NAS with WinSCP and uploaded the file. Remember to put it in /usr/bin folder.

When you have downloaded something in rar, you log in to the NAS with Putty unrar it.

Go to to folder that the rar file/files is and type 'unrar e rar-file-name'. Unrar has a help where you can se all the flags to set, if you want.

I'm not on the computer that has WinSCP and Putty, but I can explain better soon if you cant get it to work.

You're welcome! :)

One thing i noticed was that some files did'nt show in Windows XP.

I executed in Putty on the command line:
chmod 775 file-name
and the file showed up!

Don't if that helps you....

"-sh: /usr/bin/unrar: Permission denied"

I extracted the file on my computer and then transfered it to the Public folder. Then log on with ssh/putty, go to Public folder and type "mv unrar /usr/bin"

I was looking for a way to unrar on the QNAP thinking it would go faster than just winrar it in Qdownload from my pc. But it only takes 25 min using winrar on a 4.4 Gb file so I think I'll keep doing that. (wasting bandwith for sure).
