Stop "failed" downloads from deleting?

Post by ArskinF »

Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS:

I posted a year or so ago that every multiple rar download fails with at least one rar file marked as "corrupt", and every repair when par2 files are included also fails. That has been the case since and, as pointed out to me, I have to accept that it's my fault.

Not finding any help I have ever since been manually repairing/ extracting from the temporary folder files, which works fine. It's tedious, but it is Linux, after all.

However, after a recent update sabnzbdplus now deletes the files from the tmp folder when the download is flagged as failed.

How can I stop that, i.e. get sabnzbd to leave the files in the temporary folder so I have some chance or recovery?

Thanks

Are you sure? Are you maybe using some external software like Radarr or Sonarr? Because they do this.
