More PARs
Posted: November 26th, 2016, 5:57 am
Hello!
As far as I can tell, SABnzbd will always download the smallest (+1) PAR2 block from a given post. I'd like to suggest an option that enables SAB to download either a larger, given number of PAR2 blocks, or a certain percentage of the total size, or if that's too difficult to implement, just download the largest known PAR2 file instead.
The point is, when a post is slightly damaged and 1 PAR2 block is not enough, the post will go back to the download queue and verification and repairs start all over again.
With my Internet connection speed, downloading an additional 50-100 MB is much faster than having it go through the entire verification/repair process again. This gets worse with bigger downloads, over a few GBs.
Thank you
