Quick links. Retry failed files Want something added? Ask for it here. Search Advanced search. I'm a newbie and recently learned about the missing articles issue. I followed this thread's recommendation to use Tweaknews. I have a subscription to newshosting. In my sabnzbd configuration, I added tweaknews.

I wasn't sure how this was going to work. Both priorities are at 0. I went back to the file that was missing articles, and voila, it started downloading with no issues. So I guess it's pulling files from which ever server that allows it? I have two questions regarding this Why is that? Is it simply to save money?

Right now, tweaknews is not a block, I signed for the 10gb free trial. If I'm going to buy a block, do I need to configure anything beyond what I did above? Will Sabnzb know when to use the block and when not to? My concern is not configuring things properly, and using up the block account when the same file could be downloaded using newshosting.

Please advise, thank you in advance! A block account is just a filler account in case there are missing articles in your main account. You buy a block and will last until it runs out. As it shouldn't be required that often it should last for a while. One would normally set its priority lower, so it's only used when needed, so a 50GB block should be all that's required, so in answer to your questions: 1.

Set the block account lower priority than the main so it's only used when there are missing articles on the main. Post by pobox » Sun Mar 06, pm. Toggle navigation. Quick links. Downloads page. Tell us what system you run SABnzbd on.

Adhere to the forum rules. Do you experience problems during downloading? Check your connection in Status and Interface settings window. We will probably ask you to do a test using only basic settings. Do you experience problems during repair or unpacking? Search Advanced search. I have started some downloads via SickBeard and on all episodes 17 of this show, only the first one downloaded, repaired and unpacked successfully for post processing by Sickbeard.

All other episodes are failing due to : "Repair failed, not enough repair blocks X short " I have searched this forum and found similar inquiries, but nowhere I've seen ways to recover the data that was already downloaded.

In other words, is there a way to re-repair the downloads or the data that was downloaded is now garbage and I will have to re-download? Seems pointless to re-download 25GB for a single chunk of data that did not pass verification.

What can cause such problem? All other shows worked perfectly. It has a folder for each unfinished download. Otherwise the downloaded files will have been transported to the final folders. If you run into this often, consider upgrading to 0. This won't help your current failed downloads. For unrepairable jobs, ypu would add a more complete NZB file with more par2 files or just an NZB with extra par2 files in it.

I faileed to mention that I am using Linux. I am also new to this so I apologize in advance for newbie questions
