Verifying when articles missing

Post by pinn »

Hi,

Just wondering on the rationale for why when a download is flagged as having articles as missing, does it then need to verifiy the job on download, espcially as it is going to repair & check after?
I'm asking as on my device the verfication takes ages! :)

Thanks for all the hardwork

Just to be sure, are you talking about the status Verifying in the queue? Because that is only shown in you have enabled Check before download in Config Switches. That is not enabled by default.

Otherwise if you mean post processing verifying:
The repair after download is done by par2, this program first has the figure out exactly what parts of the data are incomplete before it can know how to repair them.
So it needs to scan all the data unfortunately again, since par2 repair is a very complicated maths problem.
What operating system are you using?
You van speed things up by having faster disks.

Hi,

Sorry I meant when post processing. Okay, that makes sense then now. It is a slowish system really , fine for media playback, but slow when doing these more intensive tasks.

Thanks anyway
