Automatic download of par2 files
« on: June 16, 2010, 10:07:32 pm »
I have set that my par2 files are automatically paused when I add them to the queue, however not sure if this feature is available or could be made available, but would it not be possible that if a download completes and one or more of the files are corrupt, that if the par sets are set to paused, that they will automatically unpause in order to fix itself ?

Hope that others like this idea :-)

mine does not seem to be doing that, is it a setting that I need to tick add ?

I just checked and I have a few nzbs that have downloaded but 1 or 2 of the files are corrupt, the par2 files did not download as they are still paused, I can unpause and then fix, but I am asking if it is not possible that this entire process is automatic and that if a rar file is corrupt that 1 of the par2 files unpauses itself to download so it can fix itself and make the process more automated?

If however this can be done already, could someone please point me in the right direction on how to set this up as then I have not set it up that way.

Thanks again, gr8 program, trully love it :-)

Make sure you set up altbinz so that smallest par2 is imported unpaused. Once collection starts downloading, you'll notice par2 set in par2 tab. Once collection finishes, needed par2 blocks will be unpaused from downloaded collection.

thanks, will try and test, although I have some stuff that has corrupt download as the files are in CAPS and yet the par has not unpaused to donwload even though I have no tick in small par2 file under import as paused.

 is the small par2 file itself also in caps?
