Assembled incomplete files that don't have pars are trash. If you have autopar turned off then Newsbin doesn't know or care if pars are there or not so, it reverts to "don't have pars" logic. People who do use autopar, don't want incomplete and unrepairable files sitting in the download folder, they'd rather they fail. Then they can consider bringing another server online and try to finish the download that way.
Keep in mind, your mode, "autopar off", isn't even on my rader. It gets no development or concern till someone complains. So, you ask why I made the decision, it's because it's the right answer for people who use autopar. Because of these posts though, I'm considering making "Autopar off" mode just assemble when retries expire. It won't hurt the people who use autopar so, there's no real reason not to do it.
