Can you email an example NZB to [email protected] ?

I've sent a NZB to you containing a DVD with pa3 as par files.

As all rar files were available on the server, SAB did not complain as no par / pa3 files were needed.

I've created a crippled NZB from the same NZB, with a few article id's replaced by non-existing article id's ... that should trigger SAB to use the par files, shoudn't it?

EDIT:

FIrst result from crippled NZB: "Download might fail, only 100.0% of required 101.0% available " ... ah ... pre-checking at work ...

I just mailed a par3 nzb example.

SABnzbd unpacks properly when all rars are intact.
If not, you'll get a CRC error.
In all cases the pa3 files remain available
Par3 support is a dubious matter because the multipar author keeps
publishing new versions for non-compatible par3 formats.
And says that the format isn't final.
Of course that doesn't stop some fools from using it.
