SABnzbd Forums

Hi, I'm new here and have very little knowledge of SAB. Please forgive me for that. I am hoping that some knowledgeable member can help me with a very frustrating problem that I am encountering with SAB. I have searched these forums and found no similar issue.

For some reason, I frequently am getting a "par2" error on the downloaded NZB files.

I have a Lime unraid server running SAB version 0.7.2.0 with a PhAzE 1.5.3 plugin. A good friend of mine has the same setup. When he downloads the same exact file, it works fine for him and processes completely. We are using the same usenets and same usenet servers.

I have tried manually downloading the NZB and placing it in the watched folder on the unraid server and I have downloaded the NZB through NzbDrone with equally bad results. Both ways work for my friend.

Could I have a setting wrong somewhere in SAB to be causing this issue? I really don't know what to try at this point.



Thanks in advance for any help.

What exactly is the error message?
"A par2 error" is not enough to diagnose the issue.

The error was "Invalid Par2 File".

I actually figured out what the problem was last night. I had too many connections to the usenet server. I was using Astraweb with an allowance of 20 connections. I had 4 Astraweb servers set up, US, Europe, etc. Each was set to 12 connections. I was getting dumped off because of the excess connections. I didn't realize that each iteration of Astraweb counted as the total. Once I lowered the connection limit to 5, everthing worked well. I was able to backfill all the episodes that had the part2 error.
