You need 10 parts to make a whole file, and a par file can make up any single missing file.

Usenetserver has parts: 1, 5 and 9

Blocknews has the same parts because they're the same company: 1, 5 and 9

Giganews has no parts because they deleted everything: 0

Astraweb has parts: 2, 6, 7, 9 and 10

Tweaknews has parts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9 and 10

You download from all of them and you end up with: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10. You're missing 8, but you run par to repair to create 8, and thus you end up with all 10 files.

It sounds complicated, but it's all done by SABnzbd internally, so you really only need to be in charge of having block accounts from different branches for it to draw from.
The only issues I'm having with downloads is ones that are older than a day or two and have already been removed. The automation runs excellent with picking up new releases. I will look into adding another possible provider on top of giganews. Thanks for the advice guys.
