The new repair queue button - what does it do exactly?

Post by Effenberg0x0 »

The "Repair" button will restart SABnzbd and do a complete
reconstruction of the queue content, preserving already downloaded files.
This will modify the queue order.
I don't know if I understand it completely.
It means it will fix my queue, checking item per item and removing things from it that I already have in my library and that were there by mistake?
Or that it will fix some other type of internal error?

Thanks,
Effenberg

The two most likely scenarios:
1. You external disk was not mounted or your disk was full.
Fix that problem and just click retry and the post processing is done again, hopefully right this time.

2. The download cannot be repaired.
The NZB did not contain enough par2 files or just wasn't complete.
You find a better (larger) NZB, enter it in the NZB field in History and click Repair.
Now SABnzbd will start downloading again, but will skip any file that was already in.
