SABnzbd Forums

Hi,
I have noticed that every NZB saved to the watched folder leaves me with a new file ending with :Zone.Identifier
e.g. for releasename.nzb the file releasename.nzb:Zone.Identifier is created and remains after download completion.

The file size is 26 bytes and the contents appear to only consist of,
[ZoneTransfer]
ZoneId=3

I'm wondering first of all as to the utility of this file and secondly if it is created by SABnzbd can we have the program get rid of it when it is no longer required?

edit: NZB files were saved from Windows 7 / Firefox 3.6.10 via a mapped NFS share to the watched folder on Debian Squeeze / sabnzbdplus 0.5.4-1 [contrib]

Cheers.

You should probably Google these things for more information and to find what information matches your situation. I found several ways/reasons for these files to be created by googling "zone.identifier" as well as the "[ZoneTransfer] ZoneId=3"

As you can see it is OS related

SABnzbd doesn't create these files and will simply ignore them.
Like rascalli said, they are probably a side-effect of in improperly configured samba server.

I think the link below is a reasonable explanation:

Argh, sorry I took up your time Googling something I could have found.

Thanks for the pointers, though.
