Repair Block Errors and How to Handle Them on Tweaknews
Understanding the Error
The message "repair failed, not enough repair blocks" is a common signal that parts of a Usenet post are missing or can’t be repaired.
Key Causes
- Past Article Retention Threshold Tweaknews may no longer have the article if it exceeds the server’s article retention period.
- Partial Article Deletion If only part of a post is still present, the missing data could prevent proper reconstruction.
- PAR2 Issues Repair blocks included in PAR2s might be too few to repair missing segments.
- NZB Configuration An NZB that doesn't include PAR2 references will not trigger a repair attempt.
- Naming Mismatch Strange or nonstandard naming schemes may confuse the newsreader’s repair logic.
