Par2 cleanup not working

Post by madlan »

Hi, I have enabled par cleanup but still have par2 files left on the download dir, I'm using a post processing script to rename AVI's, nothing special. Any Idea what could be wrong?

Possibly you have par2 files that do not really belong to the NZB file.
SABnzbd only removes par2 files that are actually used, any stray file is left untouched.
Send the NZB file to bugs at sabnzbd.org and list the par2 files that were not deleted.

I`m having the same problem.

It also leaves the .nzb file in the download dir.
Is it possible to chose certain files it should delete after the download is done?

You can simply add "par2" and "nzb" files to the "Cleanup List" in Config->General.
Wiki: http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/configure-general

This will make SABnzbd remove the files after completion.

BTW: NZB files get left behind because the NZB file you used to start the download
contains instructions to download itself. Search sites (like binsearch.info) do this all the time.
