Downloads not starting at the start

Post by MrShirley »

Hello,

I have SAB 0.7.6 with PLUSH UI on Windows 7(32) which is integrated with SickBeard.

While configuring SAB and SickBeard I realized that I had made a mistake. So I deleted the show for SickBeard, deleted the download from SAB with delete files option, cleared out the complete and incomplete folders.

Now when I re-add the show to Sickbeard the downloads remember where they got to and continue downloading from there. They then fail as parts are missing from the download.

If I add a new show to SickBeard that I have never downloaded the files download fine and Post Process without issues.

Where is SAB caching this info about previous downloads? I have deleted and reinstalled SAB and still the same issues! This is driving me mad. Perhaps I cannot see the wood for the trees now....

Thanks

Shirley...

SABnzbd isn't caching anything if you delete "with files".
In fact, it doesn't when you delete "without files", only then there will be an orphan left behind.
Check your "temporary download folder" to check if anything remains behind, to be sure.

Hi

I've checked my temp folder and completed folder on the file system they were both empty.

I then used Sick Beard to request S01E01 of BBT. As soon as the NZB hit SAB the download went to 1206MB out of 1356MB, as you can see my connection is not that fast. ;D

When the download completed I got invalid par 2 files. From reading other posts I assume this is becuase files are missing from the download and SAB cannot piece things together.

Could this be a duff NZB?

I will upload images of the behavior

It could be a bad NZB.
Pause SABnzbd, load the NZB again and then click on its queue entry.
Look at the file list to see if it makes sense. Especially look at file sizes.

I think it's is a rogue NZB,

I will reload the suspect NZB once my current que is down. I can then check the file size and implement what you have suggested.

I will keep the thread updated.

Thanks for the help so far. :-)
