SABNzbd keeps waiting and doesn't extract

[Marcoevich]

Hi all,

I am testing a new program called Gamez. It's purpose is to search the interwebz for game downloads.

Now I am not sure whether the problem is SABNzbd or the new program, but here you go:



The retention is ok and the nzbs are complete. I don't know what the problem is... Do you guys have an idea?

Thank you very much

Click on the items to see which files it is still waiting for.

[Marcoevich]

One has apparently 47 missing articles, while it only misses 2 mb...
2nd one has everything, but it's still waiting
3rd one has everything, but it's still waiting..

How can I force sab to extract the completed downloads?

[shypike]

You can force by setting a jobs "priority" to "stop".
Do you see any pattern in misbehaving jobs?
Do you have multiple Usenet servers?

[Marcoevich]

No, normally everything works perfectly. I do have multiple servers indd, one acts as a backup server.

Setting priority to 'stop' forced them to go into repair/extract queue. I'll let you know how it works out

Thank you Shypike!

I am having the same problem on OSX Mavericks. SABNZB was working without problems but it is stuck on one file. It has moved down to the history area. There is no option to delete it. I have reset and started again but the problem remains. Anything else downloaded after this file is also just as waiting. From memory the download was missing some blocks and I clicked on retry. Any suggestions?

I am saving to my boot disk, there are no servers, Nas or anything involved.

Restart SABnzbd.
In the worst case: find the "incomplete" folder and remove the offending job folder.
Then restart SABnzbd.

Thanks for the reply. I deleted the offending file and rebooted. The minus sign appeared on the right to delete the file and everything is back to normal. I tried downloading the same TV show again and had the same problem. Anyway, thanks for the help.

P.s Just for anyone else who comes across this, I couldn't shut down sabnzb. It just said shutting down but didn't. A reboot was required. No option to force quit sabnzb was available.

When it blocks, does the Activity Monitor show that either the par2 program or unrar is running?
