If a downloaded file fails the rar check, sabnzbd should download available par2 files to repair the archive. It doesn't, however, because sabnzbd is passing parameters to par2cmdline that cause it to produce an error message and then none of the par2s are downloaded. This problem is documented in the sabnzbd forums: http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=14585 http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?t=13872 http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13124 From the one post: I have verified that my issue is with the par2cmdline which was installed. My system is gentoo and the par2cmdline-0.4-r2.ebuild had a patch which only pertained to par2 wildcard expansion that only worked on creating par2 files, not verify nor repair. I have submitted a request to the gentoo to get this resolved for the ebuild. And here's the bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474540 Reproducible: Always
I found a patch in the sabnzbd forums that gets sabnzbd working again with par2cmdline currently in portage.

+1 on this patch. SAB now properly downloads additional parity files to complete broken downloads.
Confirming. Also, newest 0.7.16 seems also affected.
