Can I "repair" nzb with backup server?

Post by mltno »

I had used .71 version but just installed .72 over it, nzb didnt complete (forgot exact msg had red skull) on astraweb so I added backup server in settings(NGD), hit retry, it started redownloading around 600 mbs and it went through verifying process again and said repair failed again 1048 short(Some files failed to verify against X file) but no data was used from backup server. When i click on details it also shows 95 articles were malformed(how can i tell which are malformed)
How do i correct this, or better yet would using my backup server fix this if so how do i force it to use it, all of the files are on my incomplete folder and I noticed after it redownloaded the par files were duplicated so now i have 2 of each(but only 12).
Thanks

A retry will not fill holes in already partially downloaded files.
Fully missing files will be downloaded.
Adding a backup server later will not help in most cases.
