Authentication failed on main server trigger backup server?

Currently, if sabnzbd fails to temporary authenticate with your single main server, it switches to your backup server.

Sometimes I have this problem, with the consequence that some large chunk of data (500Mb or more) is downloaded from the expensive backup server.

I think it would be nice if there was a switch to wait for successful authentication instead of switching to the backup server.

Use the no_penalties option.
It's an undocumented option, described here:

Thanks.

Now I see this is also mentioned in "known issues" under "unreliable servers":
