Does the PAR check only run once?

Does the PAR check only run once, or will it keep re-trying if it fails?

I like to start up all of my PARs while I am still downloading--so it can be checking, repairing, etc. while I am still downloading the pieces.

Normally, if I am downloading a dozen things, I would download all of the PAR files first and start QuickPAR on all of them in Polling mode--so it would check as new pieces were completed.  That way when I cam back to my computer later all the checking would be done--or I would see how many pieces I needed for the failed items, and download the necessary number of recovery blocks.

So far it looks like this just runs the par check once.  It would be great if I could set a frequency at which this would re-try all failed items in the queue.

Speaking of the queue, when I click save or open queue, it doesn't seem to do anything.

Thanks

This isn't a monitoring software like some other applications, so no it doesn't retry failed repairs.  There are some other applications out there that do this, many of them listed here:  http://www.newsleecher.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=8    (RARslave, AutoUNpack and Par Buddy are the ones I have heard about)
