I have been increasingly frustrated with giganews retention so I added a 2nd server today. However, if I click to retry previously failed downloads they fail… they don't seem to be seeing I have an alternate server available.
If I re-download the same failed files, they download just fine.. I can see them go after the 2nd server (as backup) now when it goes to repair and needs more repair files.
So I have dozens of failed downloads I want to re-do but don't want to have to go look them all up and re-download them all. Can't I somehow re-insert them into the process in a way they will see that new second server? In fact I don't even mind re-downloading the whole file if there were just a way to kick off the process without having to go search and find them all over again.

Re: Added second server, can't retry files
Ok I found a way to trick the file into re-downloading by simply deleting all the .RAR files and then hitting retry.
It seems a retry won't go back and find missing articles to piece together those files. Would be nice if it did, but this will work for now… just will take a lot more downloading time to accomplish.

Re: Added second server, can't retry files
There's no way to let SABnzbd "fill the gaps" in files.
This is mainly caused by a design defect in the NZB format.
