Unfinished Files Help

Post by CheesyMeat »

Hi, im new to Sabnzbd+ and i have few files which are unfinished. I moved all the unfinished files to the same as the download folder, and tried a few things, but i cant work out how to add them to the queue and get Sabnzbd+ to finish the download.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

It won't work.
SABnzbd is aimed at maximum automation.
For this you need correct NZB files.
The usual respons of the users in such situations is just to
get the correct NZB and download it again.

The alternative is to download the additional files seperately,
move them manually into one folder and
do the par2 and unrar yourself.

Set SABnzbd in Pause mode.
Enter the new NZB file which has the missing files.
Go to the Queue page.
Click on the job title.
Remove all file that you don't need.
Got to the Queue page.
Resume downloading.

For repairing you should google for the program QuickPar.

It really is easier to find a complete NZB file and download again :)

Thanks again for all the help.

Seems like a lot of work to fix it, but i only came short of a 6GB file by 200mb, so it's easier not to start again on this occasion.

Thanks again.
