SABnzbd Forums

Hello. I'd like some help please. I'm relatively new to Usenet so please bare with me if this is a noob question.

First off:
Version: 0.5.0 Final
OS: Win 7 Ult
Install-type: win installer
Skin (if applicable):plush
Firewall Software: default windows firewall
Are you using IPV6? no?
Is the issue reproducible? yes!
Usenet Provider: Astraweb
RSS Feed from: NZBMatrix

Ok so here's what's happening.

I was running Win 7 RC but it's March now so I had to upgrade. I was using sab version 4.17 or something like that and everything worked good.
I had my RSS feed generated from NZBMatrix, files were being filtered by my settings in the sab config, they'd download and post process fine.

After I upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate I redownloaded sab and got the newest version. Problem is, everything downloads from the RSS feed, but it doesn't seem to post process properly. I just get CRC Errors.

But if I then manually goto NZBMatrix, look up the same files and download the nzb to my watch folder, everything works fine.

Anyone have any advice for this?

Also of note - I use plush for my skin and the history section shows my manually download nzb's with 4 icons about Size, download time, quick check and unpacked info.
When it grabs them from the RSS feed, I only get the first 2 icons.

Please help!

Set SABnzbd to pauzed and try to get some NZBs from the feed.
When  there are some jobs in the queue, click on a title
and examine if the list of files makes sense.

The way NZBs from an RSS feed are handled is exactly the same
as for a manual download.
The most likely cause is that nzbmatrix did not give the same NZB
files for RSS and manual download.

Let SABnzbd make backups of the NZB files, that way you can inspect them later.

I noticed that when I download manually, the job options defaults to +delete.
My RSS feeds were just left at default.
I'm hoping that's what the issue was. I'm setting them all to +delete now and adding something new to my RSS feed options so it will grab it next cycle. I'll post my results.

Yes that was the problem, I had saved the default to download on RSS feeds instead of delete.

A noobie mistake, but I learned from it and hopefully this will help someone else too.

Understandable.
But remember: SABnzbd is an automation tool with a truckload of options
to make it do what you want.
However, making it easy to use isn't exactly easy.
