Missing articles - tell SABnzbd to stop downloading

[Shinnyx]

Hi,

I'd like to step up my game a little further and add a block account to my usenet experience. Right now I'm having usenet.farm unlimited and I had a cheap sub to astraweb. I still get a lot of incompletes and it drives me crazy. The thing is a lot of the time my main provider (usenet.farm) doesn't even have a single connection downloading stuff. All the articiles seem to be missing from the provider and my shitty plan from astraweb takes over the whole download. That's why I was considering a block from another backbone. But I've observed the way SABnzbd handles downloads and I must say I'm afraid of adding a block account. Since my current main provider doesn't find much at all, I'm worried that my block would have to take over the whole thing and sometimes just won't be able to complete the file due to missing articles. -- SABnzbd often download 60-70% of a file and then stops the download due to missing articles.

I would'nt want sabnzbd to download 5-6gb of a file, to end up failing to complete the download and lose the bandwith from my block account. Is there a way to tell SABnzbd to stop downloading as soon as it finds out none of my providers have the missing articles?
