Invalid par files and backup servers

Hello,

I'm new to the forum, I have tried searching and googling but can't seem to find a definitive answer.

I have tried downloading a file from astraweb, the nzb was obtained from a closed forum with other users having success, but when I download it I get:

Invalid par2 files, cannot verify or repair

I have 2 backup servers, on different providers, one is tweaknews the other is xsusenet. Sabnzb doesnt seem to try these to get the files, I'm guessing it's Astraweb that have deleted the files or something and everyone else has done the same?

If SABnzbd doesn't see valid yEnc data, it will try the backup servers.
Check the setting "Fail on yEnc CRC Errors" in Config->Switches is on, for best results.
Otherwise try without using Astraweb.
Takedown are usually universal, the only difference is the speed with with this happens on each backbone provider.
Astraweb is the speed champion here.
