SABnzbd Forums

Hi, I've just updated to 0.7 after a system reinstall after years of using an older version (0.4x or 0.5x, can't remember which!).

In that old version, if a download failed (e.g. too few blocks), sabnzbd would move the incomplete files to my complete folder and prefix the folder name "FAILED_". I've noticed in 0.7, these files stay in the incomplete folder.

Is there any way to replicate the old behavior?

Many thanks!

No, the new way gives you the option to retry with a better NZB.
(Better, meaning extra par2 files).

Ah, I see. Thanks for your help.

Hi.

First of all, i'd like to thank all the developers of sabnzbd - it's a great and reliable tool.

During my research i found this topic, which exactly describes my need.
I'd like to move the temporary Folder (default named "incomplete") to a faster drive (SSD or Flash Cache), so the failed Downloads should not stay in this folder.

Is there a chance, to get the behavior back, that the FAILED Downloads will be moved? Could be the "Complete"-Folder or any other folder.

Hopefully there's a change to realize this tought

Regards,
Ronar

No, because that behaviour led to a lot of other issues.
Having an option to move failed downloads to somewhere else leads
to a lot more complexity in the code (especially if "retry" is preserved), for the benefit of a very small audience.

Why do you want the failed download moved? To remove them later?
If so, there's a Scheduler event that will remove all failed downloads.
