SABnzbd Forums

I recently updated my 0.5.x install to 0.6.1. It seems that NZB chaining has changed with that. It used to always download each chained NZB under it's own name. In 0.6.1 it seems that it now only does that if the chaining NZB contains more than one chained NZB. If there is only one chained NZB, it will be downloaded under the same name as the chaining NZB.

How do I turn that new feature off?

You cannot turn it off.
Just pick a good name for the intitial job.
I consider the old behaviour a bug.

What's NZB chaining? NZBs linking to eachother? Or a NZB with multiple downloads in it?

When SABnzbd downloads something that consists of *only* 1 or more NZB files,
these files will be automatically sent to the queue.
So useful when you have the NZB for an NZB.
(BTW: *.nfo files are allowed, but ignored).

Huh, really? Because I personally think the usenet names (e.g. Doctor.Who.2005.S06E04.720p.HDTV-BiA) is a great name to store an episode under but a crap name to type when saving the NZB. I though it was excellent that SABnzbd did that for me (and the designers agree, seeing how they do it this way for multi-nzb downloads...)

Anyway, I can see your point. You might not want to save the NZB under a chosen name, just to have SABnzbd ignore that name when it gets to the chained NZB.

Maybe it could be made configurable so everyone can have it work their way :-)

We already have to many dubious options...
