SABnzbd File Size Issues

Hi All,

First off - thanks for the use of a great piece of software, been a user a few months now and it's very good!

Like I said have been a user for a few months without issues, but the last couple of days I have been having problems with basically every file I download. When I download the NZB (from Newzbin/NZB.su) It goes into SABnzbd, and starts downloading. The download speed shows at around 11Kb/s, so you'd expect a 12Gb+ file to take days, but the loading bar is done within about 10 minutes. When it completes, I get one of many errors - generic download failed, or out of your servers retention message, but when I check the file it's only downloaded 4Mb.

Now I know there's no problem with my connection - am on Virgin 100mb broadband, Even via wireless I get 6 Mb/s download speeds, so somethings not right with 11Kb/s. The connection is fine; have been gaming since and even downloaded from Steam at a normal speed.

I'm with Astraweb, and have their most expensive package, so there is no problem with retention - I have downloaded files 3 years old in the past without problem, and some of these filr I have tried were only 22 days old.

Does anybody have any idea what might be going on here?

Cheers in advance!

Yes: very probably DMCA take-down requests.
