All RARs "Corrupt"

This has been an ongoing issue. I have tried several things over the last 6 months and the issues just seems to get worse.
I honestly can't remember the last time I had a successful download and unpack. Currently, the last 5 are showing "Corrupt RAR"
I don't know if this is an issue with Sabnzbd, Usenet in General, or what?
I have 4 different Usenet accounts and at least are from 2 different providers (according to something I found on Reddit).
I have moved the files over to a Windows machine and used UNRAR and it was successful.
I don't even know where to go from here.
Thanks,
Danno

I think you have an old or "free" version of unrar, which doesn't handle RAR5 files.
You should update your unrar, the one that comes with the PPA (if you're on Ubuntu style OS) is up-to-date.

I will have to double-check when I get home but I am pretty sure I installed UnRar from SRC.
I downloaded unrarsrc-5.4.5.tar.gz and followed instructions to install it.
That should be able to read RAR5, correct?

On top of verifying if you can extract RAR5, make sure "Post process only verified jobs" is turned on in Config > Switches.

On top of what Safihre says:
Set SAB's logging to +Debug, restart SABnzbd, and look for logging line like:
Code: Select all
2016-10-09 20:51:09,893::DEBUG::[newsunpack:149] UNRAR binary version 5.30
2016-10-09 20:51:09,894::INFO::[sabnzbdplus:474] UNRAR binary... found (/usr/bin/unrar)
Because: maybe SAB is still picking up an old unrar binary instead of the unrar 5 you downloaded.
And instead of unrarring on Windows, do the unrarring on your Linux/Unix (right?) device, and see what happens, and compare it to what the SABnzbd logging says ... for example;
Code: Select all
2016-10-03 16:41:47,636::DEBUG::[newsunpack:635] Running unrar ['/usr/bin/unrar', 'x', '-idp', '-o-', '-or', '-p-', '/home/sander/Downloads/incomplete/blabla 2016.rar', '/home/sander/Downloads/complete/_UNPACK_blabla16.1/']
