I downloaded a season of shows.  Each of the episodes downloaded, so I can view the shows but there is no sound.  In the location where the finished files download the phrase "_FAILED_" was written at the front of the subdirectory name.  A number of extra files (1 = rar, 1 = nzb, and 2 = par2) were left behind as well as each episode.  In the history it states "» Archive probably encrypted".  Is there any way to fix this problem?  What caused it?  How can I keep this from happening in the future.

Thanks in advance,

Scott

The rar files are either:
1) Password protected
2) Corrupt from the poster messing up his upload
3) Corrupt from articles being missing on your usenet provider

If the par2 stage went ok, I would say it would be one of the first two. However if par2 stage failed it is very likely the third, most common, option. Make sure you use a premium provider and don't download stuff at the very edge of your retention to avoid #3.

Thank you for your help!
