Checked settings in sab and couch potato, but cannot find any way to tell sab to either limit or not tos try alternative downloads for a particular title...

Left it downloading a film the other night, only to find out it had done nearly 100gb due to the file downloading, but failing to either repair or extract properly. I have enabled to try to check the file before download, but this did not help in this case, its usually quite effective.

I assume that sab is somehow telling CP that the download it has tried has failed, can I have a different source.. I want to stop ot limit this to only try one more file...

Im sure its obvious, just cant see it!ac

Sab doesn't ask or search for alternatives for failed jobs. That behaviour is the responsibility of external programs/websites/etc that do the actual searching, such as couchpotato. These programs know about success or failure of a job because they get info from a post-processing script or by reading the history via sab's api.
