SABnzbd Forums

I would like to request a feature for SABnzbd.

Currently I use the switch option for "Check before download" so that sabnzbd will try to predict a successful completion before the actual download.
This feature works amazingly well and I like to leave this turned on so that I never waste unnecessary bandwidth. However, there are some times
when I would like to allow one or two downloads to skip the check before download as I know they will complete for one reason or another. I can always
turn off the check before download switch before adding these nzb's into the queue, but most of the time I forget and it has already begun checking
them for completion.

I would like to request that there be an option to "cancel" the check before download in progress and to select files in my queue that will not need
to be checked before download. This would help for managing the queue and for on-the-fly modification to the way the archives are being processed.

Please take this feature request into consideration.

Thank you,
ShuaBlue

We're not too happy with "check before download".
Due to technical reasons, it cannot be very reliable.
We're recommending to use "abort if download cannot be completed" instead.
