QuickPar for Windows really has it nailed. By default, you can set it to:
1 - Monitor for new parts of the par-set
2 - Display how many more blocks are still needed.
3 - Automatically repair (if necessary) as soon as enough blocks show up.
4 - Remove all of the PAR's after the repair.

The upshot of all of this is that, when downloading a set of files, you can download the par file first, run QuickPar on it (with "monitor" and "auto-repair" on), queue up all of the other files and pars for download... and then go have dinner. When you return, you'll be greeted with a pristine set of files... all repaired automatically.

It would be *really* nice if gpar2 had this capability. At the very least, it would be nice if there was a "check again" button to have it scan for newly-arrived parts of the par-set... but it would be nicest of all to have it all automatic.
