Stop SAB downloading when files are missing

Post by nre103 »

How do you get SAB to cancel a download when files are missing. The option is ticked in Switches but it does not work.

What version of SABnzbd are you using?
It will only stop downloading of the amount of repair-files is lower than than the amount of missing data.
For example if the post included 20% of repair files, it will cancel only after trying 20%.
There is 1 exception where it fails, described here: https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/issues/1505
It's a bug we are working on. For "normal" posts it should work fine.
