PAR2 repair failing

Post by alanspa »

I have SAB 0.7.4 running (on Ubuntu 12.04) for a few weeks and every download is failing. I copied the incomplete downloaded files to my Windows box, ran QuickPar and was able to repair the files and extract successfully. I tried reading up on why SAB is failing to repair the files but I'm not having any luck. Anyone else have this problem?

What happens when you do a manual par2 repair on Ubuntu? And then a unrar?

Running par2 r [par2 filename] says that recovery is not possible, I need more recovery blocks.
After copying the files to my Windows machine QuickPar repairs it without any problems.
