SABnzbd Forums

I downloaded a bunch of tv shows. sabnzbd told me that the downloads were complete but all the files seem to have gone away. i then did a complete drive search for any files (banshee) and the only files left were .nzb files in my done directory. I am also using couch potato and sick beard. this is very odd. i then took a look at the details (below) and see that nothing was either completed or, really, anything else. i have been using sabnzbd for some time and, up to now, if it said something was complete then it WAS complete! just passing it along. have no idea if this is either right or wrong <g>

That's probably most of the download.
Conclusion: the posts are no longer on the server.

thanks for the reply.....

that was my thought too. my problem was that it said that it was completed when most of the requested download was missing. previously it would;d say something about being past retention. just a thought.....

Probably minor parts of the post were downloaded.
If all par2 files are missing, SABnzbd doesn't really know what to do with the residue.
That's because it bases it post processing on the actual downloaded content and not what should have been downloaded.

understood. my problem is that it does know when a significant portion is missing however. I will set the auto abort when stuff is missing. I had them set once (the pre check too) but was not sure it was doing it right (paranoid, I suspect)

thanks again!
