PreSetup: How does it work ...

Post by frantek »

Hi,

just one question before I set it up: How does it work? NZB's typically contain several types of files: the data it self split, rard, ziped, pars, sfv, previews, thumbnails etc. I've only limited bandwidth and I only want to download what is absolutely necessary. So in the first step only the data and some thing to verify it (first par file) should be downloaded. If necessary only the required amount of par#s should be downloaded. All other files should be optional. All this to save bandwidth.

What is the sabnzbd way to do it?

TIA

Use it "out-of-the-box". That's already how it works.
The small files aren't worth worrying about.

Thanks for your reply, but my experience shows that pars are not small (depending on the datafile size) and I really only want to download what is absolutely required. I dont't want to download files only to delete them. I've only 1 Mbit here ...

So again: Does sabnzbd act smart or not ?
