Description

Right now NNTPGrab downloads all files in a collection.
Frequently it occurs that a collection contains more PAR2 recovery files than necessary.
The program should get more smart about the exact number of PAR2 recovery files which needs
to be downloaded in order to perform a PAR2 repair
