SABnzbd Forums

Hallo,

First i would like to say that im enjoying Sabnzbd very much. Lots of films and just goes fast.

Im having in the last week almost for every download that im trying an crc error. this downloads that i try are not so new ones.
I looked abit on the net but im not that technical with lots of terms.

Im using an macbook pro from 2011.
please help me with this problem. so i can enjoy using sabnzbd.

thanks

There are unfortunately many bad posts on Usenet.
One quick way of checking is to install UnrarX on your system
and examine the downloaded files.
You should look in the folder Downloads/incomplete for job folders to check.

thank you for the quick reaction. i understood that there is an other way to fix it. i think that it cant be that all my downloads files are bad posts. i can c that other members have download these posts with no problem.
Any other suggestions?

Using UnrarX can give you some insight about what is going on.
There are so many potential problems:
- bad posts
- bad hardware
- bugs in par2
- bugs in unrar
- bugs in SABnzbd

Recently I did tell someone to upgrade unrar (which is included in SABnzbd) to the latest release
and that solved at least his specific issue.
Unfortunately it's a bit of a tricky thing to do.

still could not fix the problem.
Help please.

Did you at least try unrarX?

yes.
i tried to extrct the fies

And? Result?
Try to download an NZB with the "Download" instead of the "+Delete" setting.
Then let UnrarX check, repair and unpack.
If this succeeds, download the same NZB again with "+Delete".
If you get different results, report back.

Sorry but i don't understand what do u mean.

You say you tried UnrarX, but didn't say with which result.
I described a way to get a clue about what the problem is.
This means letting SABnzbd download an NZB without any post-processing.
(Normally a queue entry shows "+Delete", change that to "Download").
The result will be a set of RAR and PAR2 files.
Use UnRarX to examine the result.
