[070b5]: req_completion_rate reset from 95.0 to 100?

Hi,

The req_completion_rate gets reset from 95.0 to 100. Is that as it should be?

SABnzbd is not running. I edit sabnzbd.ini to contain this:

Code: Select all

sander@R540:~/.sabnzbd$ grep completion sabnzbd.ini
req_completion_rate = 95.0
sander@R540:~/.sabnzbd$ 
Then I start SABnzbd, and immediately it gets reset to 100:

Code: Select all

sander@R540:~/.sabnzbd$ grep completion sabnzbd.ini
req_completion_rate = 100
sander@R540:~/.sabnzbd$ 
The same happens when I fill out 96.

When I fill out 104, it gets set to 104.0.

So ... is this SAB's behaviour when the number is set below a certain limit (maybe 100)? If so, why? I think 96 is a valid value; it only sorts out the really bad / missing posts, and it will continue downloading posts that could be good (with 96%).

100% means that of the available rar and par2 files only as many bytes
are available as the required rar files comprise.
Anything less than 100% is by definition not repairable.
A perfect download (with the usual 10% par2 files) would have 110%.
