scheduled retries for missing articles

Post by kyoo »

I have a situation where my backup usenet server is only available to me between certain hours of the day. Is it possible to tell sabnzbd to schedule retries of failed downloads (Repair failed, not enough repair blocks (164 short)) during the already scheduled timeframe that this backup server is "enabled" by the scheduler?

The goal being that it only hits the backup server during the hours that I'm allowed to hit that server. During that hour I want it to go look for all the missing articles that it couldn't find on my primary server.

Thanks in advance!

This would be very complicated to implement for too little gain.
The problem is that SABnzbd cannot fill up partial files with missing articles later.
So retrying later would probably not help.
Do you have positive experiences with manual retries within the backup server window?
A scheduled retry of failed jobs would be doable, but it still won't help for posts
that have some articles missing in multiple files.
