Feature suggestion: More download management options for par file management #820

I manually added a very large NZB to my nzbget the other day. It downloaded and downloaded just enough par files to check. nzbget says the check was successful - BUT- that isn't correct. Multipar says a few zip parts are damaged and winrar can't extract because it's damaged.

I went back to nzbget to download the remaining par files, and, I can't even see an option to do so manually or control how downloading par files is managed.

I'm guessing get only grabs the par files it deems as needed? If I say download again it doesn't grab any additional par2 files because it thinks download is complete (it's not).

What if I want to get all of them sometimes or in instances similar to this?

If you click any item in your download queue you'll get a pop-up about that download with stats and such. You should see a button labeled "Files" in the lower left of that pop-up. Click that "Files" button and the pop-up will expand to show a list of all files in that download and their state, including par files, most of which are automatically set to "paused" unless needed. Check the boxes next to the paused files you want to force download of and click the "Resume" button at the top, which will change their state to "Queued", then hit the blue "Save" button in the bottom right. Et voilà.

image Unfortunately, that isn't what I see. I see that it grabbed all files, 0 remaining. This NZB showed more par files when fed into newsbin pro than were in the download folder for nzbget. "Files" is not a clickable section. I can click articles to see which provider they came from and I can click total for stats. I can't see any functional way to edit the nzb, select/unselect files or grab the rest from here?
