Moved to version 6 when my PC had a major meltdown and I had to reinstall everything. I am now trying to finish off a partial download from a previous version.

The problem is in v6 you don't appear to be able to delete parts of the download you do not need without deleteing the whole download

Thanks

Two points to note:

- You can pause individual files within a set that you do not want to download

- If the item is already on disk, then after downloading the first block NB will realise that the particular file has been downloaded and will mark the whole file as downloaded without downloading the rest of the file.

You can also hit the "+" button when you display the posts, "load posts" or "load NZB" and then add the individual rars.

Thanks, this looks like the best way to deal with it, much apprciated

So if I have a bunch of incomplete files (with missing blocks), do I need to delete the files before trying to re-download the whole files again or potentially fill in the missing blocks, e.g. with a new news-server?

Yes. If autopar's turned on. It'll use what's on disk already so, you might need to delete some to replace them.
