Unwanted files

Post by nixon »

I'm downloading THESE files.
After 80% i'm looking in the folder and I see 1,5GB of unwanted files. (See dir.txt, attachment)

I'm using news.dommel.be (100 days retention) and oldnews.dommel.be (200 days retention) as backup server.

When I download the same files (nzb) through grabit, i don't have this problem.
Most times I use another server, news.pfcorner.be.

I have this problem with sabnzbd+ 0.4.0 beta 5 and also the last sabnzbd release, (the old one).

How am I supposed to know which files are wanted and which not?
Send the NZB file to bugs at sabnzbd.org.

This looks to be the fault of the poster. The nzb has articles listed that do not contain the expected files; SABnzbd does what is best, and relies on the info returned from the server and not the nzb file.

The issue also happens with the same files downloaded from newzbin, so it doesn't look to be a binsearch issue.

Such as the first article for: *.1x01.pilot.ws_dvdrip_xvid-fov.vol001+02.PAR2

Code: Select all

Ib79V75*removed*f@JBinUp.com.local
Is actually a par file for a different post: "Neon Genesis Evangelion.4"

I believe SABnzbd does what is best in this situation.
