Been using sab for 1 day and love it already, I want to ditch Newsbin for it ideally but one quirk in behaviour has me puzzled.  I sometimes download an NZB which will contain several seperate RAR sets, for example on a search results page from NZBIndex, I will check several collections and create a single NZB.  sab has just failed a whole collection without extracting anything because episode 2 and 10 (of a 13 episode set) are unrepairable.

I can't see an option in the config screen for this but what I'd like it to do is extract all the good episodes/sets leaving just the knackered ones for my attention later.  It seems to me at the moment that sab treats an NZB as a single download even if it contains lots of seperate rar/par sets, with Newsbin, NZBs such as this would still appear as seperate jobs in the download list and be treated just the same as if you'd fed it a seperate NZB for each epsiode.  Is there a way to achieve what I'm whining about?

Known issue.
The current design is more oriented towards an individual NZB per item.
The retry mechanism makes it problematic to handle partially successful multi-item NZB files.
We will implement auto-splitting in a future release.

Thanks for the speedy reply and I look forward to this being implemented. Meanwhile I will try to remember to download stuff like the above as separate NZBs to avoid lengthy manual processing should a repair fail.  This is a minor niggle though, I love everything else about sab so thanks!
