Control post-processing behaviour
| Extra PAR2 paramters | See Multi-core PAR2 |
| Enable unrar | Allow the use of the UNRAR command for unpacking RAR files. Whether or not RAR files are actually unpacked is controlled by the job options. |
| Enable unzip | Allow the use of the UNZIP command for unpacking ZIP files. Whether or not ZIP files are actually unpacked is controlled by the job options. |
| Enable File Join | Allow the use of file joining of split files. Works only if the files are called file.001, file.002, file.003 etc. |
| Enable Par cleanup | Allows removal of PAR2 files after corrections of the download have been applied. Only set this to false when you have error correction problems witth SABnzbd. |
| Fail on yenc crc Errors | Only important when using fill servers. When a primary server delivers a message with errors you can ignore the message and rely on PAR2 correction. You can also choose to try to download the message from a fill server, but this takes more time and bandwidth. |
| Post-process only verified jobs | Only perform post-processing on jobs that passed all PAR2 checks. |
| Only get articles for top of the queue | When a top-job stalls for some reason, start downloading segments for the next job (costs more memory). This prevents a job from blocking the queue when you have an unreliable Usenet server. If you need this behaviour, set the value to False. If you have a reliable server (most paid servers), you might as well set this to True. |
| Post-process only verified jobs | Disabled by default. This will not try and extract if the file fails par2 checking. |
| Default post-processing | Specify the [[Job Options]] for jobs that are started by reading NZB files in the dirscan directory. |
| Default user script | Default user-provided script that should be executed after a job completes. |
Other controls
| Send group | Some news servers require the Usenet group to be sent before starting download. Only set true if (one of) your servers has problems with downloading otherwise. |
| Sort by age | When you use a server with a low retention time, you can choose to download the oldest parts of a job first. This way you have more chance on completing the download. |
| Check for new release | If enabled, SABnzbd will check once a week whether a new release has been published on SourceForge.net |
| Replace Spaces in folder names | Enable to name folders with words seperated by an underscore instead of a space |
| Launch browser on startup | Select "No" to disable the auto-launch of the browser when SABnzbd is opened. |
| Ignore sample files | Do not download files whose names contain "sample". |
| Pause downloading during post-processing | Will pause the queue while verifying and repairing, only needed for resource-constrained systems (like NAS-devices) |
Multi-core PAR2
The Win32 distribution of SABnzbd now comes with a multi-core version of the PAR2 program which will see improvements for those with multi-core processors. For linux or OSX you will need to locate the multi-core versions of par2 yourself.
The behaviour of multi-core PAR2 can be influenced by an extra parameter.
This option is only of use to users running the multi-core par2 version, so do not specify the value if you are running the normal (single-core) version of par2.
These are the choices:
-t- : Use it single-core
-t0 : Use multi-core for repairs but not for verify (prevents disk trashing)
-t+ : Always use multi-core
You may need to experiment a bit to get the best behaviour for your system.
Should you have another variant of PAR2, you specify its required parameters here.
