I don't know if this is a bug or just a really really odd coincidence.
The last 4 downloads I have made through Sabnzbd have failed with exactly 1783 blocks short. I don't think this could be a coincidence! Does anyone have any idea why this could be?

Ok so a little more information. I was able to extract these files fine without using SAB. However, whenever I extracted them there would be another RAR file with a PASSWORD.txt file containing the following text:
"The password for the file can be found at:
http://freedownload101.com
Enjoy the movie!

"
I assume this means that the release was bad. They must have spammed Usenet with them because all 4 downloads had this.

http://www.binsearch.info/ will tell if a post is password protected. So, if you look up your download by name on binsearch, what does binsearch say?

Ah I see. So 1783 indicates a password.
Hopefully some sort of detection like this will be incorporated into CouchPotato.

I'm not sure about that; it could, but it's not what I said.
