So, I would suggest the following strategy: Repair and extract *everything* that's possible and store it in the download folder. And warn about problems, if any. Don't stop when encountering a problem.

This is indeed what disabling the option "Post process only verified jobs" does :)
Or at least, that is what it should do.

I've just turned off that option for testing, but unfortunately things didn't improve. (Sander already came to the same conclusion.)

I would like to mention a similar problem I had in the past: When you have an NZB file containing 10000 jpg files, and 10 of those are UUencoded, SABnzbd will stop downloading. The fact in itself that SABnzbd doesn't support UUencode is not a big problem. However, SABnzbd should still download the other 9990 yEnc encoded jpg files. In other words: It would be good if SABnzbd would follow the strategy "Don't stop when encountering a problem" also in this case. Unfortunately, I cannot provide an NZB file to reproduce this issue. I just wanted to report what I observed in the past.

It would be great if you could somehow manage to solve both issues at once.

UUencode support is returned in 3.5.0.

I will check why Post-process only verified job doesn't fix things.
It should repair everything it can.

Based on your NZB, I found 2 bugs and 1 design-flaw deep inside the code that does the repair.
It will still fail this NZB after I fix this, but at least it will have repaired the jobs that it can repair and it will not fail if "Post process only verified jobs" is turned on.
