Hi!

Regarding checking feature in sabnzbd.
In Plush skin you got instant information about missing packets, this feature is not available at all in Glitter.

Is is possible to show missing packets while checking nzb?

It does show them, but only if a certain percentage is missing. So if only a few articles are missing, it's not shown. Why would it be helpful to show every missing byte? I could add that.

Or do you mean that it's in MB and not number of articles?

I would be very happy if this could be shown all the time, yes I mean number of articles.
The reason? Control freak I guess, it makes me sleep better at night.
I liked how Plush always gave me information about what was happening so you could respond to it instantly if something felt wrong.

Since articles can have arbitrary sizes, it's value is meaningless without knowing the article size. So instead we show the number of MB.
I will change it for the next release to always show the number of missing MB, even if it's a small number.
Because any missing data will require repair, and that's something the user should know.

Sounds great. Many thanks.
How are you going to show it? Does it show in the progress bar or somewhere else? Best according to me is to show it in the progress bar, because then it is always shown.

Yes, it will be shown in the progress bar. Currently it will start showing if more than 1% is missing, starting next release it will show if anything is missing.
1% can be a lot if the download is large.
