I had a block account and was using it with sabnzbd to download a large file. The block account reached its limit in the middle of the download, and the repair failed since it wasn't able to download the last parts. I updated sabnzbd's server with a new working server and clicked Retry on the download, thinking that it would now get the missing pieces from the new server, but it just tried to repair using only the pieces it had already downloaded, and it didn't try to download any more pieces.
How do I get these missing pieces without downloading the whole thing all over again?
EDIT: Thanks shypike, deleting the suspiciously small files and then retrying worked great.

Re: How do I download the missing pieces of a failed downloa
SABnzbd will not download an already existing file.
It could be that one file is incomplete and SABnzbd will not attempt to extend such files.
Look for files in the "incomplete" job folder and delete any that are suspiciously small.
BTW: set SABnzbd to paused and they "Retry" the failed item.
When it's back in the queue click on the name to see which files still need to be downloaded.
