SABnzbd Forums

Hey all,

First post here, and it is on an issue where I cannot find a solution on these boards.

My current setup is on a Windows 7 machine, utilizing the newest versions of Sabnzbd and Nzbdrone. I have a premium account with NZBgeek and have a server with NewsHosting.

Right now I am working on getting all of the episodes of Game of Thrones so I can catch up, some downloaded fine, the others simply state 'Aborted, cannot be completed.' My problem is that Sabnzbd/Nzbdrone do not try to find a new source to download from. Sabnzbd simply puts it in my history as 'aborted, cannot be completed' and does not retry, and Nzbdrone does not try to find a new download. What is the reason behind this? The only way to find a new download is by manually clicking around until I find one that works. Is there a way to automate this?

I have the following settings within Sabnzbd:

Abort jobs that cannot be completed: checked
Check before download: checked
Pause downloading during post-processing: checked


I have the following settings within Nzbdrone:

Failed download handling: enabled
Redownload (automatically search for and download a new release): enabled
Remove: (remove failed download from download client history): enabled
Grace period: 2 hours
Retry interval: 1 hour
Retry count: 1



Could I possibly be missing a setting or two here? Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers.

Sounds like an NZBDrone problem, have you asked on their forum?
SABnzbd is quite passive here, it does what it's told to do.

I will give it a shot. I figured I would start here being that Sab is the one that is aborting the download and not retrying it.

When a download cannot complete, it will be aborted.
At least if you set this up so in Config->Switches.
SABnzbd never retries automatically, it never did this.
NzbDrone should detect the problem, remove the failed download and try another NZB.
