2(!) articles missing.


To be honest i dont quite get the behaviour of thic checker compared to standalone checkers.

Not even mentioning this strange thing about % numbers that confuses me...sort of..

It's a warning.
I assume you read this: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/introducing-0-7-0 ?

The average post consists of 100% RAR files and 10% par2 files.
The ideal post is thus 110%.
If the combined downloadable parts of the RAR and par2 files is less than 100%,
the post will not be repairable.
Due to the nature of NZB files and the way material is posted, it is never
possible to predict repairability in a fully reliable way.
That's why by default we require 100.2%.
Below that, you must decide to take the chance or not.
If you think our threshold is too high, you can lower it in Config->Special.

Hello Shypike,

ive been using 0.7.4.RC1 version and getitng quite a few of "download might fail only 100% of required 100.5% available"
(no missing articles, all rars+pars are there) has anything got changed in the way cheking worked?

Nothing changed. From which version did you upgrade?
Did you actually download this post? What was the result?
If positive, can you send one or two examples to [email protected] ?

i upgraded from 0.7.3
yeah i downloaded them just fine. no repair was needed. the last one is too large- its 40+Gb(bd50) but ill find other two i encountered and send it right away

cheers

There's a bug in SABnzbd 0.7.3 (and also in 0.7.4RC1).
The pre-check stops when the download would normally stop.
Obviously the extra par2 files should also be checked, but this doesn't happen.
I think this error sneaked in while repairing other issues with fetching extra par2 files
and the pre-check use case wasn't considered.
The fix is quite simple, but requires a code change.

As a work-around you can set a lower limit on the required percentage
in Config->Special item "req_completion_rate". Set it to 100 instead of a higher value.
It will mean that some fringe cases will slip through the check.

Thanks for reporting.
BTW: it doesn't just happen with your examples.
Any job with at least one article missing will be rejected.
