AutoDL Pars?

[apathy]

From what I understand, Alt.binz only downloads PARS when it's required.  I've run into a problem where Alt.Binz didn't DL the PARS when it couldn't extract the RARS I just downloaded because it was damaged.  I had to manually unpause the PARS and then it extracted correctly.

My settings:

As ever, your Alt.Binz log is the place to start tracking down the source of your problem, along with entries on the PAR2 tab.

Edit:  Found where the logs are.  Although I forgot which file had the issue.  

Here's an issue I had with the program saying the repair failed.  I check the PAR2 tab and it also says failed although I tried to extract the file manually and it worked.  Altbinz also didn't auto extract for me probably due to thinking the file was still damaged I think.

I think I figured it out.  The samples in the nzb were being paused and when the par2 couldn't find or repair them it wouldn't extract.  I've allowed it to dl the samples and everything else extracted.  I hope this is the issue.

[Chuckle123]

Apathy,

    I don't think AB will unpause paused par files to account for missing blocks.  What you can do is uncheck the "Par2 recovery files" under "Import as Paused Section", or change the bytes field to an appropriate size.  It looks as thought you currently have it set to 0 so all files are paused.  It is only doing what you have instructed it to do.

[cr4zyfr4g]

the settins from apathy are fine.

Alt.binz unpauses just enough par2 files it needs to repair. In that case it unpaused some but an repair was not required at all. Thats why the par2 repair "failed" and nothing was unrarred. Why Alt.Binz saw missing block in the first place i am not sure.

[Chuckle123]

Maybe I should revisit my settings.  It will not automatically unpause par files to do a repair for me.  I have to unpause the par files; I assumed it was by design.

Edited: Par files do auto d/l just as cr4zyfr4g stated; just tested it.  I guess I will need to review my log next time par files fail to d/l and repair the collection.  I usually just unpause a few par files by hand and all is well.
