SABnzbd Forums

My system is running Windows Vista Business 64bit, and the problem appears with both SABnzbd+ 0.4.11 and 0.5.0Alpha5.

No other features appear to be malfunctioning, including auto-par unrar and delete.  The program correctly detects NZBs added to the watched folder at the correct intervals, and it correctly downloads them to the correct folders with the correct categorization etc.  I have successfully downloaded over 100 gigabytes using only the auto-detect queueing.  The one and only problem is that my watched folder is simply deleted after a queue is completed.  I can keep adding NZBs to the directory while the queue is being processed, and even if the folder is empty it does not disappear until the queue is 100% completed at which point it immediately goes poof.

I keep remaking the folder (naming it "Queue") for now and it works fine, but I don't know what would cause the problem.  I have set my download and temp folder to the same directory, and the queue folder is located within this directory.

Please let me know if there is any more particular background info that would help with this, thanks!

You shouldn't put the Queue folder in the "download" and "temp" folder.
There's some cleanup up code for these folders that deletes any empty sub-folder.

It's a left-over from older releases. I must take a critical look at it's functionality.

A simple work-around is to put a text file in it (like "bla.txt"). This will protect the folder.

Hi,

    Thanks!  This did the trick.  Unfortunately I do happen to store all my passwords and credit card numbers as empty folder names in my downloads directory so now I am screwed! JK  .

    As long as that is all that was happening, I think this is solved but I guess I'll await your verdict as to whether this is something that will be changed anyway.  Awesome software and thank you again!
