Questions re. failed downloads and folders

Post by NiklasK »

Hi all

Been using sabnzbd for a year now (OSX, Newshosting account). Up until a couple of days ago I had been running version 0.5.x (dont remember exactly). Since upgrading to the latest version I´m experiencing som issues I didnt before and perhaps they can be fixed with a setting.

Previously I had my system setup to move the complete downloads to a folder called "Download" and also got failed downloads in the same folder but with the prefix "FAILED_" in the folder name. Now the failed downloads remain in the incomplete folder and nothing shows it has failed, I have to enter my sabnzbd menu icon and view my history to see that it has failed. Can this be changed in the settings to have it the way it was before?

Second.... If I created a nzb with multiple tv episodes for example and one of the episodes failed I got a folder in my Downloads with the prefix FAILED but it did however also contain the proper unpacked videos that didnt fail. Now, if one video fail it seems that the whole process terminates and everything is left unpacked in my incomplete folder without a folder prefix. The only way I can see it didnt work is if I enter my menubar icon and view history.

Failed jobs are clearly marked in the History.
The 0.5.x left it to you to fix-up failed jobs, definitely a worse situation.
The side-effect on multi-part jobs is unfortunate, but will be addressed in a future release.
