SABnzbd Forums

Hello,
I get that the sfv file is for checking if the files were downloaded correctly.
I thought also that sabnzbd does the checking automatically. There is also an option "cleanup list" where you can set files to delete.
I was wondering if I put .sfv in the "cleanup list" it would prevent sabnzbd from checking or does it check before deleting?

SABnzbd relies on par2 files for verification (and possibly repair).
That's the reason we don't use the SFV files at all.

Maybe we'll use them in a future release to check downloads that do not have par2 files.
About the removal: the par2 files are also removed, after verification.
