when you have a very big DL it can take very long after initial downloading to parcheck the DL, if something is broken after checking, sabnzb might just need 1 or 2 par2 files to repair, but it has to start the whole par2 check again from scratch, that can be very timeconsuming and this could be reduced substantially if the user could set a switch to "always DL the first xxx par2 files" xxx would be a value to be specified by the user (or fix MB setting...)
since bandwidth isn´t really an issue for most and DLspeed is generally pretty good, it would speed up big DLs alot if you are able to have a 500MB par2 cussion that is downloaded very quickly and can be used after the 1st check which more often than not should be enough to repair without needing to DL more pars and recheck the whole DL
