no warnings for missing blocks

Post by avosough »

It seems since updating to 0.6.0 and beyond I don't get any warnings when there are missing pieces from the server. My provider has relatively poor completion, so it's important that I know when a download is not going to be salvageable with PARs. Is there a setting that I had previously activated to show these warnings? How can I get them back?

You cannot, there saved until the job completes.
The previous way of warning made not much sense either, the average download
can afford some missing articles.
Keep in mind that SABnzbd is an automation tool.
If you really have to scrape every download together it may not be the tool for you.

One of the forum members has made a pre-download check, discussed here.

Hmm... the old way seems more versatile, but I'm sure there were reasons for the change.
My provider's "usable" retention is somewhere in the 400-600 day range depending on luck and the file. SAB was very useful for letting me know early on if a reasonable or ridiculous number of pieces were missing.
I will look in to that script, thanks.

In 0.6.3 (to come soon) will show the number of missing articles in the "hover-over" popup.
