SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

no matter where I try to create and download a NZB file of this type, Sabnzbd cannot read it. Why? Other files from that site work. Here is a link, the same happens when I download the whole NZB from binsearch or other hosters:

https://nzbindex.com/search/?q=wu5ur2gtz2ky8d6tawq71i

I keep getting this warning:

Cannot read d:\NZB\wu5ur2gtz2ky8d6tawq71i.nzb

This is the first NZB file ever that Sabnzbd cannot read, and I keep on wondering why? When I look at it in an editor, it seems totally regular and valid.

Thanks

It looks more like SABnzbd doesn't have access right to the folder d:\nzb or the files in it.
Does SABnzbd run on the same system and under the same user account
as where you're downloading the NZB files?

Hi shypike,

did you try to download the file? In fact, when I split the download into three equally big parts (i.e. manually select parts 1-20, 21-40, and so on), it works, and it also works with many other files in the same folder, from the same Source. The problem seems to be specific to this one and only file, no matter where you download it from, or how many times you try.

That nzb gets queued from the watchdir just fine (85 rar parts and a bunch of par for a total of 23157.21 MB). Maybe something stupid gets in the way, antivirus or so? If sab thought the nzb content wasn't good, it would complain about that, not file access.

Yes, works fine here.
How much memory does your system have?
