Downloads stop just before end almost every time

Post by luvaluvaful »

Hi all,

Please forgive me if I'm missing something here as I'm very new to all of this. Likewise, if there is a post which explains my problem please direct me to it and apologies for not getting it on my first time round searching.

My problem is with downloading - lots of times (about 50% of downloads) Sick Beard sends an NZB file to SABnzbd which will download everything but a very small part of the file, and it'll just stay there and never finish downloading. I've check my server settings and it connects properly when i test it. I checked the timeout settings and it is set to 120 secs.

Also (although this may be sick beard giving bad NZB files) lots of the downloads fail when post processing and either say "Repair failed, not enough repair blocks (928 short) " or "Invalid par2 files, cannot verify or repair".

Any thoughts? Or is this a question for the Sick beard forums?

I'm fairly new to all of it but any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's probably not SickBeard. It's probably the fact that the files you are attempting to download are no longer available with your particular choice of Usenet provider, for whatever reason (past retention, other - you can fill in that blank) they were removed.

Here's a site that helped me to configure a little more reliable setup. It does cost a little more, but these days one Usenet provider just isn't enough if you want reliability.
