In this case it wouldn't help. It's a race condition and a bug all at once. yeah i didnt say it would :) just was responding to sander, i saw your comment that basically direct unpacker aborts and deletes and goes fubar.. but was a bit shocked we didnt log why and just said no files extract -- i wo...

zoggy, did you read Safihre's issue & analysis on https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/issues/3212 ? I saw the initial post which got me here because my knee jerk reaction was to question if direct unpack was a factor as not using that simplifies the process greatly. imho people that use direct u...

looking at your issue, you can see that sab asks unrar to unpack.. but something happen where unrar didnt extract anything: 2025-11-27 07:33:15,922::INFO::[misc:1330] [sabnzbd.newsunpack.rar_extract_core] Running external command: ['/usr/local/bin/unrar', 'x', '-idp', '-scf', '-o-', '-or', '-ai', '-...

I've dm'd you a link with the nzbs and logs. It's unrar 7.12 and it's ths standard ppa and just a systemctl daemon sabnzbdplus: Installed: 4.6.0~alpha1-0ubuntu1~jcfp1~24.04 Candidate: 4.6.0~alpha1-0ubuntu1~jcfp1~24.04 Version table: *** 4.6.0~alpha1-0ubuntu1~jcfp1~24.04 500 500 https://ppa.launchpa...

apologies but i do not have the logs, so ill have to ask how do you install sab (source/ppa/some other method).. and what version of unrar you have installed?

Often if I just re add them they'll work - there doesnt seem to be much consistency. assuming you are using sab 4.5.5, if not.. update to latest. what os/env do you run sab? do you use container - if so which one? and can you set sab logging to debug if its not (wrench > logging level in the bottom...

does the issue go away if you dont use direct unpack?

glad you got it sorted

click wrench, set logging level to debug if its not already. replicate the issue then share the sanitized log+config from wrench>show logging

then you are prob looking at the wrong thing or there is another tab with stale info. restart pc/browser/clear cache. see when error happens (if its when you do x / every x minutes) whatever to isolate the culprit vs the assumed

you can look at debug log for more info, but you already know what the culprit is..so just look at it and double check the apikey. make sure there is no leading/trailing space. if you really still have issues rotate your apikey and update it. theres not usually much to it.. either your passing the c...

yes you are still going through user share with your incomplete, you can optimize that for even better speeds (less overhead/iowait) by doing what i said. which should help reduce those 'download speed limited by disk speed' which you prob see when io is being hit during downloading+extracting as io...

yeah, I've seen people do 8Gbps speeds no problem with sab using decent nvme, now when you get past 8Gbps then something like a ram drive might start to make sense to bottlenecks (but those fancy nvme with pcie5 might solve that).. but anyways.. Just because you change/set a larger tcp window size d...

I have a 5Gbps connection from my isp. Running sab in a docker container on unraid I get 550-600MB/s with 80 connections using one provider (~30ms latency to them). Upping to 100 connections and using another 100 connections from another provider doesnt yield me any benefit except higher cpu and mor...

do you use adblocker at router level (unifi / pfsense / adguard) ? Do you think that can have influence if the poster have browser & SABnzbd on the same machine? it shouldnt, but idling in radarr/sonarr discords i see it all the time where people have things block stuff and it rears its head be...
