Files moved to Completed folder too soon

Post by kittenparade »

Hey guys, sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldnt seem to find it if it had. My problem is that SABNZBD is moving files to the completed folder while it unpacks. I've watched both folders as a download finishes downloading and when it does, it creates a folder in the completed folder with original name, but with UNPACK at the front. When it's done unpacking, it loses the UNPACK header and goes back to the original folder title. This becomes a problem when I have iFlicks watching the completed folder. iFlicks in turn then, starts to process an incomplete file. I have no idea how to remedy this. Sorry if I explained this poorly. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Suggestion:

Don't let iFlicks scan your complete directory
AND
use SAB Categories with the default Categories pointing to a sepearte directory, which is scanned by iFlicks.
