Rar file names are not consistent

Post by SupermarketSweep »

I had no problems with nzb downloads using sabnzbd for almost 2 years. In the past couple of months, my downloads are getting mixed filenames for the rar files in a par2 set. Some rars will be the expected filename, others will be a jumbled mess of numbers and letters (but the same jumble for each file doing that).

My temporary solution is to wait for sabnzbd to fail the download (because it can't do a par2 check) then go through and rename each file and hope that there is no corruption and that it all unpacks successfully. this takes away my ability to do a par2 check on the downloads (AFAIK).

is there a way to automate a file rename before parity check, or a way to correct the issue of getting inconsistent filenames during the download?

Release 0.7.11 should fix most of these issues.
But there are limits to the madness we can support.

It started happening when posters started renaming their files
to prevent takedowns.
