I got a notification that a download.

When I looked further I saw that some files failed a check agains name.sfv. these files were all par2 files. the rars were not unpacked because of this. I did manually check the rars and they were all ok. I could manually unpack the files without problem. Is there a way to get sabnzb to unpack even when sfv check fails?

SFV checks are only done when there are either no par2 files or the verification using the par2 files fails.
This is done to maximize the chance of having a successful download.

Unpacking items that cannot be verified can be forced by disabling the option "Process only verified jobs" in Config->Switches.
Chances are that unrar will report CRC errors when unpacking.
