HI,

So I am using Sickbeard along with SAB on a QNAp NAS.  Things are going well with one exception.  If the downleded files are corrupt, I get all the files left behind in a _FAILED folder.  There are a lot of back season files that are corrupt out there, and so the download goes fine, but the actual files are hosed, so post processing fails.  In almost every case, there is nothing I can do about it.  Is there any way for me to get SAB to automaticlly delete all the files associated with the post processing failure?

Only if you write your own user script.

SO what does the post prcoess on validated downloads do?  I checked that, and I am still getting failures., where Par2 on my Windows box tells me hals the downloaded files are incomplete.  Would that cound as a validation failure?

"Verified" means that the par2 check/repair successfully completed.
Only then is further action, like unpacking done.
If you end up with downloads that don't verify, it means they are incomplete
and there are not enough par2 files for repair.
