Is the issue reproducible? yes


1. noticed that while its only supposed to download the smallest par file, its downloading at least 3 every time, theyre under 2mb each usually so its not a huge deal but it would be nice if it only downloaded the first one like its supposed to.


2. i thought that any verification failure would mean the files would be in the "complete" folder but they dont, they still end up in the category folder.  not sure if thats a bug or intentional.  if it is can i add a request to add a config option to decide where failed downloads end up?  category or completed folder.


3. i'm not sure if this was just something i screwed up but if i turn on tv sorting and have it set to %sn [s%s01e%0e].%ext with a category path of TV then i keep getting them coming down into TV\showname.1\filename

i just want the shows dumped into the TV folder, not showname.1 or any other subfolder.

1. This happens when SABnzbd has trouble getting files names from subject lines.
In such a case it must actually download the first part of the file before it has the real filename.
When you use many connections, the parallelism makes that multiple par2 files have been downloaded
before SABnzbd finds out what the names are.

2.
Works as intended.
Later releases will keep failed jobs in incomplete, so we can implement retries (with extra par files).

3.
Keep experimenting, I have trouble with the sorting too (didn't write it).
