SABnzbd Forums

Sabnzbd is deleting downloaded files.

I know this sounds like the ramblings of a mad man but please hear me out!

I have noticed recently that sometimes, not all the time, sab is downloading, tv eplisodes in this case but I have seen it do it wih other types of download.
I have sab set to read newzbin rss feeds for some TV shows, the queue shows 6 episodes all downloaded sucessfully in the last 2 days and moved to the complete dir.
Not 1 of those downloads is in the completed dir, nor the temp dir, and get this, not even in the sab log! which doesn't seem to have been added to in days.
I am using 0.6.9 running it on windows 7 64bit.

One thought I had was that because my completed dir is on my file server, there was something going wrong with the move operation but there is nothing wrong with the server or network and as I said not a sausage in the sab log.

I have looked around in the forum and not found this exact issue but i do see some other unsolved threads that sound like they could be the same.

help us obi wan... your our only hope.

Set the logging level to debug (Status page).
Try to catch SABnzbd in the act and provide a scenario and some evidence.
Your post alone is not enough to get us to start looking for this issue.

So far the only bug that more or less resembles your issue
is a problem release 0.6.9 has with encrypted RAR files.
But even then you should get an "expected files missing" error
(unless you disabled that warning).
