I have about 100gb of files in the cache that never got extracted for some reason. Would be a shame to lose them since my bandwidth is capped each month. Is there a way to extract them?
This is how I think I got into this mess. A few days ago I paused my queue and then swapped out drives. When I tried to restart the queue, it gave me errors, so I wiped the queue and re-queued files to download. The sabnzbd interface says the files were downloaded, but the download directory is empty, but 100gb of files are in the cache. sabnzbd_* type files.
Thanks.

Re: Way to extract files from cache?
Forget it.
Since you "wiped the queue" the meaning of the files has been lost.
Only files in the "download" folder are usable.
The content of the cache is just un-assembled files, I'm surprised that it's 100G,
it shouldn't be.
SABnzbd does tend to build up garbage in cache if you frequently delete jobs
that are being downloaded.
Look at the file dates, are they recent?
