I've got a rather large download in my Queue (32GB) but I cannot download it all in one session. I'd like to be able to specify segments and maybe download it in 3 or four sessions.
I see that if I click on the name of the download in the queue it lists all the segments and each has a check box at the far left. I've been looking for documentation to describe what this page or view is for?
Is it possible to break up a large download like this into smaller pieces?
Thanks for any advice.

Can a large download be completed in smaller chunks?

No, that's not possibke. Post processing would not be possible.
Why do you need chunks?
You can pause downloading at any moment, even on a schedule.

I didn't want to possibly draw attention and incur the wrath of my ISP with a 32GB download. There are like 650 parts to download and I just thought that if I could designate the first 200 I could download that one night... then another 200 the next... etc. Would set nounpack so that it wouldn't attempt to do any automatic post-processing.
Thanks for the reply. I'll attempt to accomplish the goal via scheduling.

The alternative is to set a daily quota.
Just set it to 32G and SABnzbd will stop downloading when consumed
and will resume the next day.
Config->Switches
