Using SABnzbd to process already downloaded files?

I have started using the download station om my NAS to download files at night where traffic on the mobile net is less dominant but last night, it downloaded a 58 GB heap of garbled files. I usually use SABnzbd that processes these files automattically so I am not seing this as a problem. But as I am on a limited plan (1000GB but still limited) and would like to get something out of them, so

Question 1: Can I use SABnzbd to do post-processing on these files or do I have to download all 58 GB again?? That would be a bummer.

Question 2: Is there a way of incorporating SABnzbd in the Synology Download Station so I can avoid problems like this in the future and not bother all of you with my newbie problems? ;=)

Have a nice day out there

Unfortunately SABnzbd can't do that, only what it has its own bookkeeping for it can do.
Why not just use SABnzbd on your NAS? Sounds like you have a Synology? There is a package for Synology. Check the instalation page of the wiki.
