Merging hung download for Par2 checks

Post by TheGlow »

I've dled a 25gb nzb and its hanging with 26mb left.
I can run the par2 and says I have 33 missing of 85 files.
I've never figured out how to get Sabnzbd to compile or merge the pieces I do have so I can try and get the rest of the pars to fix it.
The __ADMIN__ folder has 22,801 items, 8.15gb.
Is there a way to have it process and merge them so I can get a better idea of which individual rar's I can try and shoot for replacements of?

You normally add the extra NZB (or one with more par2 files) in the popup
that appears when you click "Retry" in History.

It's not even listed in the history. It's still in the queue.
Only item in the queue, Remain/Total is 26 MB/22.5GB Eta Unknown, age 9d.

All 4 servers seem to give up on the same sections.
I figure if I can get it to just compile and spit them out I can fix with pars, or worse case, sometimes Ive been able to start a torrent. pause it, drop the files in, force a recheck and get the rest that way.

I dont know what happened. I decided to downloaded a totally different one, and the initially started working again.
Sadly it was one of those renamed files that par2 offered to rename what i had completed already.
Took me about a half hour to separate, make copies of files, and then rename all the others manually as the par was failing on them. It is recovering now.
