Queue stuck on downloading par2

[prettyhatem]

Version: 0.4.7
OS: OSX Leopard Server, G5 PPC
Install-type: OSx .app
Skin (if applicable): Smpl
Firewall Software: none
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

This will to what seems random NZB's, but it is constant when trying to redownload.  The problem is when downloading an NZB via newzbin, it will place the download in the Download queue like normal, but after it completes it will say it is "Verifying" and then place the download back into the queue for what I assume is to download extra Par2's.  But it will not actually download.  It just sits there and doesnt pass traffic.

The log looks like this:

Also to note, I have just switched news providers from Powerusenet to Giganews and still the same results.  I have also erased and reloaded the OS on this machine for an unrelated issue, this has happened before the erase and after.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Also here is an attached image of what it looks like.

Hi,

The par2 binary used may not work on G5, it's the ttb par2 from chuchusoft.com (indicated as untested on G5).
I'm glad to find a sab user with a G5 mac.

Could you please make some tests ?

Open a terminal and type just to see if par2 binary works on G5 :

Code: Select all

/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/Resources/osx/par2/par2

Well I did what you said, and got this:

Code: Select all

Not enough command line arguments.

Usage:

  par2 c(reate) [options] <par2 file> [files] : Create PAR2 files
  par2 v(erify) [options] <par2 file> [files] : Verify files using PAR2 file
  par2 r(epair) [options] <par2 file> [files] : Repair files using PAR2 files

You may also leave out the "c", "v", and "r" commands by using "parcreate",
"par2verify", or "par2repair" instead.

Options:

  -b<n>  : Set the Block-Count
  -s<n>  : Set the Block-Size (Don't use both -b and -s)
  -r<n>  : Level of Redundancy (%)
  -c<n>  : Recovery block count (Don't use both -r and -c)
  -f<n>  : First Recovery-Block-Number
  -u     : Uniform recovery file sizes
  -l     : Limit size of recovery files (Don't use both -u and -l)
  -n<n>  : Number of recovery files (Don't use both -n and -l)
  -m<n>  : Memory (in MB) to use
  -v [-v]: Be more verbose
  -q [-q]: Be more quiet (-q -q gives silence)
  -t<+|0|->: Threaded processing. The options are:
     -t+ to checksum and create/repair concurrently - uses multiple threads - good for hard disk files - [default]
     -t0 to checksum serially but create/repair concurrently - good for slow media such as CDs/DVDs
     -t- to checksum/create/repair serially - uses a single thread - good for testing this program
  -d<dir>: root directory for paths to be put in par2 files OR root directory for files to repair from par2 files
  -0     : create dummy par2 files - for getting actual final par2 files sizes without doing any computing
  --     : Treat all remaining CommandLine as filenames

If you wish to create par2 files for a single source file, you may leave
out the name of the par2 file from the command line.

At least it starts on the G5, but maybe it doesn't work properly.
You could try to overwrite it with the "classic" par2 program.

From a Terminal:

Code: Select all

cd /Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/Resources/osx/par2
mv par2 par2-new
cp par2-classic par2

If this solves your problem, please let us know.

BTW: Did you use previous versions of SABnzbd and did they give better results?

[prettyhatem]

Well that seemed to work, the two nzb's I was having problems with went through fine and completed.

I have been using sabnzbd for about a year and half.  It has pretty much worked perfect up till i would say the last update or two.

I will update this thread if this continues.  Thanks so much for everyones help.

I am assuming I will have to do the commands to get any new update to work?

[rAf]

In future updates, we'll use classic par2 for PPC mac users, so you dont need to repeat this commands.

thanks for testing.
