SABnzbd Forums

Hi all,

first-off, this is my FP and I am a 3 year (i think?) user of sabnzbd, absolutely love it.

I have a quick question regarding a situation I have....for certain reasons, I have all the raw files from an 80GB posting sitting on my HDD, downloaded externally and not through sabnzbd.

However, they are still obfuscated names (60310-2.0, 60310-2.1, etc). I'm totally cool with manually extracting and processing these files, but unfortunately i have no idea how to get them together. for example, it seems for each .rar file - lets say .r62 - there are multiple smaller files, 60130-62.0, 60130-62.1 through 60130-62.5. Of course, the '62' isnt the same, but you get the point. As i understand it, the indexer site (or maybe the nzb itself?) contains the necessary script for renaming and joining these files...correct?

So i suppose my options are this:
1) delete the files, redownload the entire 80GB from sabznbd. (do-able, but not fun of course - plus i want to learn more about how this stuff actually works!)
2) somehow get sabnzbd to start the NZB and recognize all of my files in the /incomplete/ directory, at which point it will just run the rename script and postprocess normally
3) figure out how to get the renaming script manually from my indexer and patch up the filenames myself.

any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated - and feel free to call me an idiot and suggest #1 : )

It looks like the NZB contained multiple posts, using identical names.
SABnzbd's renaming method messed things up a bit.
This will be quite a puzzle to solved, there's no generic method.
