Re: All PAR2 files downloading...

Hi.
To avoid creating another similar topic, I'll post it here.
I have the same problem: I'm downloading some NZBs and the PAR2 files are always getting useless and 700KB in size. It's not happening with all NZBs.
In the sabnzbd.ini the enable_par_cleanup = 1
Could it be that the files have already been deleted from the usenet server? Is the retention period over?
Thank you.

You have to be more specific.
Do the downloads fail to repair? Do you want to keep the par2 files?

The files do not repair because the PAR2 files are invalid/useless and are always 700 KB in size:

Maybe you can enable Debug logging in the Status window and then after it happens again click Show Logging.
Also, please update to 4.4.1 first.

The generated sabnzbd.log ?
The file is large (has a lot of text), which part is most relevant?

Thank you.
"Reparação falhou. Blocos de reparação insuficientes (faltam %s)"
which is the same as
"Repair failed, not enough repair blocks (585 short) "

So see https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/faq#toc32

And SAB also offers to retry (which won't work), and therefore does not delete the files.

When SABnzbd fails to do the automatic repair, I try the manual repair with MultiPar:

So I think the file has already been deleted from the server. Strange that it's only the PAR2 files.

I think the file was deleted from the server.
I tried to download it with another usenet client and the same problem occurs.
I sent the log.

I have the same problem with many nzb downloads.
SABnzb tells me that a 50 meg par2 file has been downloaded and it seems by the time it takes the progress bar to move that something is being downloaded but the Par2 files show up as 717 kb in size and thus repair does does not work.
I am using MacOS 4.5.1
I deleted the sabnzbd.ini and reset everything, same problem persists.
I can see SABnzb download stuff, but the par2 do not grow to full size.

I tried
enable_par_cleanup = 0
enable_par_cleanup = 1

same thing
nzb file example = "THE KING OF KINGS 1927 1080p CC WEB-DL AAC.2.0 H 264"
found on DrunkenSlug

No it hasn't been downloaded. Only the first article has been downloaded. The repair fails because the total available par2 isn't enough.

The options here are not going to change anything.

Or what is the message that is shown in history?
Is the job even set to Repair?

Update: In my case, I spoke with my usenet service provider and they did something to "refresh" the specific nzb file I was having problems downloading par2 files. They did something, I do not know what, and that fixed the problem and the par2 files downloaded properly and the rar riles repaired.
