Having sabnzbd always dl all par2 files before verification

Is there any way to have sabnzbd always download all par2 files for an item before verification (before both the quick check and the full par2 recovery cycle)?

I wish to limit the maximum amount of full par2 repair passes to 1, even if I have to download extra data.

thx for replying, that's good to hear

I have a follow up question: My real problem is that (apparently) sabznbd does not always download the entirety of all files, for whatever reason.

Sometimes (not always, perhaps once every 20 dls), a queue item will fail in sabnzbd, however when I download the same nzb in GrabIt, not only are some of the sizes of the files different, the repair always succeeds.

So it will be like:

In Sabnzbd:

movie.par2 3 MB
movie.part001.rar 10MB
movie.part002.rar 10MB
movie.part003.rar 9MB
movie.part004.rar 10MB
movie.part005.rar 9MB
movie.part006.rar 9MB
movie.part007.rar 4MB

And the repair fails.

But in GrabIt:

movie.par2 3 MB
movie.part001.rar 10MB
movie.part002.rar 10MB
movie.part003.rar 10MB
movie.part004.rar 10MB
movie.part005.rar 10MB
movie.part006.rar 10MB
movie.part007.rar 5MB

And the repair succeeds

--------

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Is this the sort of thing that the 0.8.0 update mentioned by shypike will fix? Is there anything that I can do about it at the moment?

the "req_completion_rate" in my sabnzbd.ini is 100.2 - could increasing this help?

Are you using the same NZB and the same set of servers?
Is the post very recent (a few hours) when you downloaded the job?
Did you Grabit much later?

Can you email the NZB to bugs@sabnzbd.org ?
Please add the url of this message and the Usenet server(s) you're using.

Same nzb, same servers, age of post is about 300+ days old

I'll send all of them to bugs@sabnzbd.org (i've got a lot of instances of the bug)

That is to say....is it alright to send porn nzbs to that address? Inexplicably a lot of what I dl is porn :p

Just send it, I never watch/listen/use anything I download from received NZBs.
None of my business what you watch, don't have the time anyway :D
