Where is the list of downloaded files kept for RSS feeds?

Post by PiNPOiNT »

Where does Sabnzb keep its list of files already downloaded from an RSS feed, or downloads in general. 
I'm trying to find a way to create a list or add to it before hand, before adding a giant RSS feed.  I dont want it to re download stuff i've already gotten from another source.

eg:

RSS feed of a tv series (contains a whole season of 13 episodes)
i've already gotten episode 2, 5, 11 and 12 lets say,
Can i add that info somewhere so that it won't grab them? (Or do i have to specify in the "reject" portion of the rss feed multiple entries weeding out those episodes?

Thanks

You could try some complex regular expressions if you don't mind getting your hands dirty.

For example this will match titles from newzbin for season 1 of "show", episodes 12-24. You could use this to accept or reject entries:

Code: Select all

re:^show\s-\s1x(?:12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24)\s-\s.*$

It's stored in a binary format that only Python programs can use (cache\rss_data.sab), I would not try.
