Can't make my altbinz download par2

[Mech0z]

I remember toggling some setting that would make altbinz only download par2 files if needed, which sounded very good as it saved my 2Mbit line of some work. But I never see altbinz download these par2 files and I can't seem to find the option to just make it download the par2 files, because if I just after unpause the par2 files when its done downloading the real files, it will download and unrar it successfully. But if I just let it be it be, I will just have some folders with .00 and .rar files in it that are broken.

I must say that I have upgraded my version quite alot of times and just copy pasted the new files ontop of the others. Could this have an effect?

Iam running Win Xp 32bit

basicaly it works like this: alt.binz downloads all unpaused files, which should be at least all rars and the smallest par2-file. when the small par2 file is downloaded it appears in the par2-tab where altbinz checks if all files of the collection are present. if there are parts missing and enough par-files available it will download them once the collection in the queue reaches 100 %.

got to nzb options and uncheck under import as paused small par2-file pause otherwise repair and unrar doesn't work...

Well it always adds them to my Par2 tab, and often my downloads are marked red, but it still dont download the par2 files to repair it automaticly, I have to manually unpause the par2 files before it downloads them and fixes the broken files

[davidq666]

is the collection at 100% in the download queue? is par2 repair acticated(par2-settings)?

[Mech0z]

Yes and yes

[davidq666]

weird... the par2 files are in the same collection as the rars? sometimes the do get posted seperatly...

[Mech0z]

Yes they are, they are just "imported" as paused. I am still certain there was some option to import par2 files as paused so it would only download them if needed. Just can't find that option anymore.

[davidq666]

i know there is coz' it works fine for me... settings:

nzb
import as paused everything except small

par2

everything except recheck

unrar
auto unrar checked

If those settings aren't working for you, post any PAR2 error messages from your Log.

[Mech0z]

par2 recovery files if larger than 0bytes

That was selected. But shouldnt it still download them if needed?

Do what davidq666 said.  Any problems still, do what I said.
