    Extra Par2 Parameters for Linux

    -

    NOTE For Windows, see below.

    -

    You will need to install the multi-core versions of par2 yourself, as described here.

    - -

    The behavior of multi-core PAR2 can be influenced by an extra parameter. By default it will use all available cores.

    Extra Par2 Parameters for Windows

    -

    The Windows version of SABnzbd has MultiPar integrated which allows you to specify the multi-core behavior and memory usage. Additionally, you can also enable the use of the GPU. Beware: GPU performance varies between systems and can also be slower on some systems.

    Nice to reduce CPU priority

    -

    When SABnzbd runs external tools like par2 and unrar, these tools may use up all CPU capacity. - If you set parameters in the nice option box, the tool will be used (if installed). - You will need to experiment with the parameters. Leaving the box empty will disable the use of nice.
    - Popular parameters are -n10.

    IONice to reduce disk priority

    -

    When SABnzbd runs external tools like par2 and unrar, these tools may use up all disk capacity - This can make simultaneous use of the system problematic, e.g. when you want to watch a movie. - If you set parameters in the ionice option box, the tool will be used (if installed). - You will need to experiment with the parameters. Leaving the box empty will disable the use of ionice.
    - Popular parameters are -c2 -n4.
    - For more info, see the ionice man-page -

    Be careful, using wrong parameters will make all external tools fail!
