Abort download if there are missing articles

Instead of checking all articles, is there any way to have SABNZBD terminate a download and flag the NZB when the number of missing articles exceeds a preset limit?

Yes, the switch for that is just below it: "Abort jobs that cannot be completed".
It checks if the number of par2-articles is greater than the number of lost articles, if not, it aborts.

Might I ask if there is any disadvantage to checking this option? I figured if it was a good thing it would be checked by default so I did not change that. Do you guys check it on your systems?

Thanks!

Unless you have some way of finding missing articles I'd say it's best to have it switched on.
