Downloads failing due to malformed articles

Post by blackhawkpr »

Version: 1.1.1 [33a7874]
OS: Ubuntu 16.10 (VM running on a Windows 10 Pro host. Long story)
Install-type: AtoMiC ToolKit
Skin (if applicable): Default
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? No
Is the issue reproducible? Yes

Since late last night downloads have been failing. They're pretty much download completely but SAB aborts at the end saying the articles were malformed (I think every article was malformed). Retrying the download instantly completes the download without an error but when I go to play the file it doesn't work. Happens with every download so far. Logs are riddled with CRC errors. Possible bad ram? I haven't experienced any abnormalities with the VM's host.

Server problem?
The malformed is reported after decoding, so maybe the transmission was wrong.

I've got 3 providers configured and checking the stats on the download, they were used pretty evenly.

Ok. I'm starting to think the problem isn't on my end. That ISO downloaded just fine. I went back to one of the files I was attempting to download earlier (from NZBgeek) and it failed again. Went to another indexer (Dog) and a download worked. Added the NZB manually and through the Chrome plugin and it worked. Went back to my original indexer and it failed again. 2 out of 7 downloads failed and they were both from the same indexer. The downloads that failed were from today so maybe the uploads are a bit sketchy? Tried downloading something older from NZBgeek and it was successful.
