What happens to a file when it fails to unpack
I have general question as to what happens to a file when it fails to be unpacked for any reason? Is it deleted/purged or does it exist somewhere in the file structure?
Re: What happens to a file when it fails to unpack
In Incomplete or Complete/ Failed or / unpack ... with some leading underscores as bonus
Re: What happens to a file when it fails to unpack
Thanks for the quick answer. When I go to home>.sabnzbd>Downloads I have a "complete" and "incomplete" but then no other folders. FYI, the majority of my unpacking errors happen due to an error in renaming.
Re: What happens to a file when it fails to unpack
Be a daredevil and - with your file explorer or terminal - go into the Complete directory ... and discover what you see there
On my disk:
And/or go into sabnzbd.log what kind of renaming you see there.
