False .jig files in series

[killerz298]

So are you saying that the jig files are real files and my servers just can't download them? I'll deactivate my current servers and try another and see what happens.

[safihre]

No the jig files are fake, but a dropped connection on one of your servers causes SAB to retry it endlessly (this is the bug I need to fix).

Any news on the .jig files? Isn't impacting operation, but a nuisance as it throws an error every time. Would be nice if we could just ignore that file extension.

It throws an error? What error?

I re-dowloaded https://pastebin.com/k9FbAuKF, and no error at all. Just a correct download.

I've been getting the same thing now for weeks. Here's one that was logged earlier:

2018-02-05 16:59:38,994::WARNING::[nzbstuff:496] File "<HASH>5ab0512.jig" yEnc (1/1) is empty, skipping

Looking at the gzipped NZB downloaded from my indexer, the .jig file is mentioned at the end of the NZB. Here's the tail-end of my sample NZB:

</segments>
</file>
<file poster="2cc68aad19d2985427bcf3040fe6d871 &lt;[email protected]&gt;" date="1490071459" subject="&quot;918c03e61a8be25ea98f818355ab0512.jig&quot; yEnc (1/1)">
<groups>
<group>alt.binaries.boneless</group>
</groups>
<segments>
</segments>
</file><!-- generated by newznab 0.2.3pz -->
</nzb>

Important to note that the actual target files download without issue - SABnzbd just records that message in its log.

I've been getting that error as well. It's better than the unpacking process hanging like it used to do so it is certainly progress.

I repeat: what error?

@sander: Not all NZB's with the JIG files are the same, some have a nonsense article in them but some are empty just like OneCD shows.
This will give this error when adding the NZB:
https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/blob ... ff.py#L496
"File xxx.jig is empty, skipping"

Yes... It is a warning, not an error.

Blahblahblah.Jig is empty, skipping.

[sander]

Yes... It is a warning, not an error.

Blahblahblah.Jig is empty, skipping.

Oh, I see. And that Warning appears in the GUI.

For the people running from source: I guess you can change

Code: Select all

sabnzbd/nzbstuff.py:496:                logging.warning(T('File %s is empty, skipping'), self.filename)

to

Code: Select all

sabnzbd/nzbstuff.py:496:                logging.info(T('File %s is empty, skipping'), self.filename)

to get rid of the Warning

Yes, it shows in the gui and windows notification bar.

Changing a line of code might be above my pay grade. Will it be fixed in a future update?
I seem to be getting this each download now, or close to it.

[safihre]

I don't want to change this really. There should be a warning when an invalid NZB (empty file) is provided. This way the user knows something is wrong.
It's a bit annoying that indexers now use this as some kind of tactic.

[shypike]

I'll add an option to Config->Special.

[AtariBaby]

Hi shypike, safihre, followup question: Is this something we should be complaining about to our nzb indexers? Because i donate to them as well, and if it's something lame they are doing, I want to complain. Or maybe I misunderstood your explanation.
