Good evening all.. long time lurker first time poster/user..
Thanks to all who make this happen by the way.. its much appreciated.

Anywho, on to the questions.

So i set up my supernews account last night, got CP and sabnzbd configured.
Im finding things i want, pulling them from CP, successfully in to sabnz but every movie ive tried 7-8 now have ALL failed to work.
some done unpack (fine, i get it) but the ones that do, without errors, or are repaired dont play. fails in VLC, fails in Windows media player, fails in plex... just wont play.
ive tried a mix of new, old etc. multiple different types and qualities.. they all fail.
any ideas of things i could try folks
would be very grateful.
thank you.
happy holidays

There are quite some fake posts, often containing "special" software.
If the post verified against the par2 files and unpacking went fine,
then the problem is in the post itself.

just seems strange. ive tried 10 movies with 3-5 different files per and nothing.
bad searchers? crappy ones?

You can always try the same NZB(s) with different Usenet software.
But I share your experience that for some specific material it is very difficult to find working versions.
