PAR2 oddity

Post by Hurda »

I've got an NZB with two files: A rar (1.5KB) and a sfv. Will send it to [email protected]

The par2 covers the rar (400 blocks - no idea what's the point), the sfv (20 blocks) and a nfo (2.6KB, ~700 blocks).
~110 recovery blocks are available, with a total size of 530KB(!).

So, downloading the NZB naturally causes sabnzbd to stop it with the error "Repair failed, not enough repair blocks (561 short)" as the nfo is missing completely in the NZB.

BUT!
Using the par2-recovery-volumes, MultiPAR is able to reconstruct the nfo.

I'm a bit puzzled right now. ???
