Downloads result in a bunch of par2 files

Post by colinize »

Lately it seems that most of my downloads are resulting in a bunch of par2 files (which I can't do anything with) instead of a playable or convertible file. Is there a setting I need to look at to fix this issue?

Tell us a bit more about your setup: what OS do you use? What version of Sabnzbd?
Do you not have Rar listed on your Cleanup list? Are all categories set to +Delete?

Next we can inspect the log. If you turn on Debug logging in the Status window and then see what is in the par2 section. Probably some repair is going wrong.
