[SOLVED]SAB saying the archive is intact, while it is broken

Post by Salabim »

Hi,

It's not the first time that I download a multiple GB big, multi-.r** archive, on which SABNZD says all files are correct, while in reality the archive is broken en lots of different .r** archives. SAB didn't want to download the .par files because it says it's complete and error-free, and i can't do anything besides re-downloading the whole thing, only to get the very same end result.

In the meantime, my monthly download limit had been souped up, and I can't try out any other option (if there is one, which i suspect there isn't, since SAB miscorrectly thinks an archive is complete and error-free)

Please, What can i do to be able to download only the .par files, in order to eventually being able to recreate the archive myself.

- SABNZD first incorrectly says the archive is complete+errorfree.
- The archive is moved into another folder, and clicking the results button, I can't do anything other than look at some "summary".
- It doesn't want to download the .par files.

How can I be able to "correct" SAB into making sure the .par files are downloaded, even when SAB incorrectly thinks the archive is CRC-errorfree, while it ain't, and not being forced to redownload *everything* only to end up with the same broken archive.

Please disregard. It must have been a *broken* upload, which included the .par files for the *broken* archive.
So, nothing SABNZDB could have done to correct this.
