Have you installed Grabit and set up a news server?

Then just double-click the NZB file and it will load into Grabit.

BTW, you don't have to download the extra PAR files... those are there for if the file is damaged, they will help to repair it. You can delete those from the download list and only load them if you need them.

Interesting Gary, so do i just remove them from batch and it wont affect the download?

Yes, just select the PAR2 files and press delete. Just leave the.par file - that is a control file that is used to check. You only need them if the files you just downloaded are damage.

Use this program to check the integrity of (and repair) your downloaded files...

Pause grabit... reload the entire NZB and delete everything that you don't need or have already downloaded.... then unpause grabit... and it will continue.

you should have PAR2's and and a PAR file and sometimes also an SFV file. You can remove the PAR2 files safely, but keep the SFV and the PAR file.

Just rechecked, got PAR2's, .NFO and .SFV, definitely no PAR file,

although there is for example a filename.par2 and also then a filename.vol20+14.par2

Ooops, sorry... ja that is what I meant... the plain PAR2 file without that attached volumes.

The volumes are what the PAR2 uses to rebuild damaged files... and you only need as many of them as what Quickpar tells you.

If Quickpar says you are missing four blocks, then only load the first one or two volumes until you have enough to repair.

Great, i've paused Grabit, just reimported the .nzb and deleted all the newly imported files except the .par2 (without the volumes)
