Every NZB I download fails with this error:
"[Error 87] The parameter is incorrect" while unpacking RAR files

Yet if I extract them myself they extract fine

I only installed SABnzbd a week ago and it was working fine for a few days so I'm assuming I've changed something to cause it to fail every file but I don't see anything obvious

Set logging to "debug" level on the Connections page.
Download a small job with RARs in it and wait until it's complete.
Open the log file on the Connections page, use Notepad.
Look at the end of the file for error messages.

I've downloaded a test file with logging set to debug but I still don't see what's wrong

Here's the log:

Bad luck. SABnzbd can log like there's no tomorrow but in this case
it doesn't log the one part that I need

I had expected to see the actual invocation of unrar, but alas.

Can you email your sabnzbd.ini file (please remove passwords first)
to bugs at sabnzbd.org?
Please add this NZB too (although I doubt whether that makes any difference).

Nothing revealing found, alas.
The only other option is that I prepare a custom version for you,
with some additional logging added.
Let me know if you want to test that.

Posted: **September 21st, 2010, 9:43 am**

yeah no problem I can test it for you

OK, it may take while, I'm extremely busy this week.
