Being left with _UNPACK_ folders in destination

Post by JoeyJoeJo »

Running on a WHS, I've occasionally had _UNPACK_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx left in my destination directory but have put it down to the WHS going to sleep while unpacking (box only runs few hours a day) so not completing and I've just re downloaded no problem.
But the last couple of days, the WHS hasn't slept at all and I've got a number of _UNPACK_ dirs.
Each have a single file as expected, the files (video) *appear* ok apart from the the _UNPACK_ prefix, history shows complete with no probs.

So - if server went to sleep while unpacking, what would I see in directory and history?
And is there a best way to verify files unpacked ok without actually watching them all the way through?

Thx!

WHS is pretty obnoxious when dealing with renames.
There's only one solution, set the special setting "folder_rename" to 0.
Detailed instructions here: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-special

Thanks, I'll give that a go (but I do kinda like the failed prefix so will see how it works out.)
