Hello,

I havent found that option yet, is there a way to make SABnzbd auto-download files which have failed PAR2 check which cant be repaired ?

If a download doesn't have enough par2 files, it up to you to
use the indexing sites to find more.
SABnzbd isn't going to do that for you.
BTW: there's no auto-retry in SABnzbd, it's a manual action done from the history view.
Optionally you can add an NZB file describing more par2 files.

Oh! Then I should only add another nzb that only carries par2 file...
Yesterday I tried the retry button with an additional nzb. But it was a normal nzb (rar+par2).
Result: It downloaded the entire movie again.
It would be cool if we had an option to retry adding another full blown nzb file (rar+par2) but instead of downloading everything, SAB+ would only download the par2 repair blocks and ignore the rar files.
Or maybe download only the par2 files and whichever rar files that failed with the 1st nzb file.
Just a thought ;).
Cheers

Actually, this is supported.
SABnzbd will skip the files that were already downloaded.
Are you sure any files were already downloaded and were
the new files named the same as the old ones?

Exactly.
I just noticed that the filenames were different although it was the same movie from the same sender.
That must be it, right?
Cheers

I guess so.
