HERE IS HOW TO REPRODUCE THE STALL

- create a scheduled action "Resume" at your target time, say 10 minutes from now for the purpose of testing this bug - pause sabnzbd - add 2 items to the queue, BUT ensure the first item is small enough to finish downloading before the scheduled action is triggered - set the priority of t...

Re: Unreliable scheduled action "Resume"

I haven't observed any stalls while testing a scheduled 'Restart' action just prior to the scheduled 'Resume' action. I expected this result because the stall has been correctable by restarting sabnzbd.

Re: Unreliable scheduled action "Resume"

So you say it works for a few days, and then stops working? no, I said sabnzbd fails to resume downloading with an incidence of about 20%. The stall has happened on day 1, but usually not. In that time, Sab is never shutdown or restarted? Most of the time the Resume action works for a few days. The...

Re: Unreliable scheduled action "Resume"

I'll confirm the bug is still present in 1.2.0. Resume worked for 5 or so nights, then it stalled again. BUT, I accidentally discovered that pushing an NZB to the queue (using the NZB Key) will get sabnzbd going again without having to quit/relaunch: 2017-01-22 02:00:00,000::INFO::[downloader:255] R...

Re: Option to fill missing parts with zeroes

Yes, I think you've mentioned this in older threads. And the implication is that the "guess" may be wrong? If that's the case, do you have an idea of how often it might be wrong? Let's say it's right 99% of the time, surely that would be acceptable? I will note that other newsreaders (if t...

Re: Option to fill missing parts with zeroes

I'd like to add myself to the long-ignored voices asking for this feature: Please add the option to pad empty space when assembling downloads comprising missing articles. I've used this feature in other clients and it is essential for repairing downloads using torrents in the case that par2 files ar...

Re: Simple one: UNRAR to temp folder, THEN move

I would not use this option. I don't unrar to the same location because it thrashes my HD. I set the complete folder to a separate local disk to avoid the head seeking that results from massive simultaneous reads and writes to the same disk.

Queue stall after scheduled action "Resume" [Reproducible]

My ISP provides unmetered bandwidth after 2 AM, so for years I've had a Daily Schedule to Resume at 02:00. Recently I updated from I believe the 0.7 series to version 1.1.1 and starting having problems (OS X 10.8.5). Sometimes (perhaps an incidence of 15-20%) sabnzbd fails to resume downloading at 2...
