How To Get The Multi-Core Version of Par2 on OS X

[xzKinGzxBuRnzx]

Lets start with this. Run these commands with terminal to get started.

cd ~
curl http://chuchusoft.com/par2_tbb/par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20100203-mac.zip > par2.zip
unzip par2.zip
rm par2.zip
cd par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20100203-mac
rm COPYING
rm README_FIRST.txt
chmod +x par2

OPTIONAL: (PATH - REQUIRES ADMIN PASSWORD)
sudo cp * /usr/bin

If your interested in using this with SABnzbd peform the commands below. Be warned though. YOU WILL NEED TO DO THIS EVERY TIME YOU UPDATE SABNZBD.

Spoiler

Now SABnzbd already comes with par2 for OS X. Although it doesn't appear to be multi-core. To begin lets replace SABnzbd bundled version.

Make sure your SABnzbd+.app is in your /Applications folder, otherwise the commands below will fail.

cp * /Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/Resources/osx/par2
cd /Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/Resources/osx/par2
rm par2-sl
mv par2 par2-sl

Now just load up the SABnzbd Web UI. Go to Config > Switches > Par2 Parameters. Give this "-t0" without quotes. You can always fine tune this option later from the bottom link.

Thats it! Follow this guide to fine tune your SABnzbd setup.

Now either run these commands to clean up or do it manually.

cd ~
rm -R par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20100203-mac

Lets start with this. Run these commands with terminal to get started.

cp * /Applications/SABnzbd+.app/Contents/Resources/osx/par2
cd /Applications/SABnzbd+.app/Contents/Resources/osx/par2
rm par2-sl
mv par2 par2-sl
cd ~
rm -R par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20100203-mac

This part of your code doesn't work, but is easy enough to do manually.

Open Sabnzbd Application by right clicking and selecting Show Package Contents. Navigate to Contents/Resources/osx/par2.
Delete the par2-sl in there, move the new par2 (from part 1 of the guide) to location and rename to par2-sl. Job done.
