Recommended req_completion_rate value

Post by kodexof731 »

I have abort when download cannot be completed enabled, but I still find I have downloads that slow down to a few bytes per second in downloads when they are missing a significant amount of data, and those are clogging up my download queue. Does anyone have a suggested value for the req_completion_rate variable that will abort these downloads sooner, but won't unnecessarily abort downloads that are missing just a few articles?

Thanks in advance!

The reason is that those downloads have a lot of par2. We only abort when the amount of data lost is larger than the amount of par2 available.
So changing this setting to something much higher like 110 might just abort healthy jobs.
If you think the detection is not working, enable Debug logging in the Status window and send the logs to safihre@sabnzbd.org.
