I had a weird issue the other day downloading something. The download failed, saying there weren't enough blocks to repair. I don't really know why, but I decided to try re-downloading it (same exact NZB), and on the second attempt it downloaded fine. The only difference was that I didn't apply a custom category to it this time.

The category thing wouldn't have made a difference, would it? I can't see that it would... would this just be a case of Astraweb being lovely again? And along those lines, is there any way to make SABnzbd re-download just the PARs or something?

I've had that same issue with Astraweb this week with some stuff downloading and missing so many blocks that even with PAR's I couldn't repair. I just finished my download block last night so I grabbed a 200GB block from blocknews to try out for now.
