SABnzbd Forums

Hello, I've had an issue over the past month on large file downloads. Smaller files tend to download fine, but large 50GB+ files are almost always corrupt. I performed a test download today through sabnzbd but that was also corrupt. Can I tell from the error log if this is a hardware issue? Or do I need to do further troubleshooting?

Operating on an Unraid server.

Here is the error in the log from sabnzbd:

Is /data/incomplete a harddiskdrive (so: not SSD)?

I would test with SMARTmontools

sudo smartctl -s on /dev/sda

Thanks for the quick reply!

SSD... I currently have my downloads set to my Unraid cache drive SSD.

I mostly do not know what I am doing in terminal commands... I get this message when I attempt your test:

/dev/sda: Unknown USB bridge [0x0781:0x5571 (0x127)]
Please specify device type with the -d option.

Unraid? Then my usual hash tag: #UnraidAlert

SSD? I don't know if SMART works on SSD. I checked my own SSD, and it looks like ... No.

I don't know much about Unraid.

So far we have seen that this is almost always a hardware issue.
Either corrupt memory, or corrupt sectors/parts of the drive.
The memory you can check with memtest, the drive is a bit harder to verify 100%.
The quickest check there is to test downloading to a different drive and see if that works without a problem.
