Do NOT repair if (ie) more than 5% is corrupted

My Synology is getting older and older, so when bigger downloads are corrupted it keeps on repairing for over 24 hours. Is it possible to set a parameter somewhere that if more then 5% needs to be repaired or more than 100MB (orso), please do NOT repair it?

I already set the 'do not download during repair'-parameter, but that is not really speeding up things.

The problem is that SABnzbd doesn't really know beforehand what the percentage will be.

Thanks for the fast reply!

It knows how much it will download (maybe only after the download is completed), so somewhere it is aware of some sizing? I personally prefer to download ie 500MB PAR2-blocks to decide after this repairing is going to take too much time.

We do have an obscure option called Config->Specials->"never_repair".
When using that, no repair attempt will be made and only complete downloads will unpack.
You can then choose to do any repairs (and unpacking) on a PC or Mac.
