Let's have an archive file (say, rar or zip) and several sources (of the same file) to download it.

Example:

**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**
**External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff**

(it should give 14 sources or so, altogether)

Let's add all sources to downloads (as many sources of one file) and set JD to download only one file at a time. Let it download the file from one of the sources. After JD finishes, it will check the other links, and exclude them from the download list one by one, as the file will have already been present.

The expected behaviour is that JD would download the file, and next would depack it automatically. It would do as expected but only when there is no other sources left of the file.

But when JD has downloaded the file while there are still some other, alternative sources (links) left, it will finish downloading but will not depack the file.

In other words: JD will depack the archive only then if there is no more alternative links of the file, within one task.

If you added two different files from several sources each, ex.
server1/file1.rar
server2/file1.rar
server3/file1.rar
server1/file2.rar
server2/file2.rar
server3/file2.rar
and if you set JD to one download at a time,
then it would download file1.rar from server1, next would check server2 and server3, and then it would depack file1.rar - because there is no more sources for file1.rar but all the task has not been finished yet.
Then it would download file2.rar (from server1, if possible), and next it would check server2 and server3. This would end the task - and file2.rar would left undepacked, contrary to file1.rar.

I suggest it is an error in the algorithm of the program. If it is set so, it should depack the archive even if it checked some other links after downloading it, and next it finished the task. In other way, each downloaded archive should be depacked automatically - while it is not for now.

Try JD2 (beta), the other JD will get plugins update only.
