SABnzbd Forums

Hi,
now i try to get help here because at the usenet boards there isnt any good help...

Since some month my SABnzbd+ seem to be broken or i dont know but it download the downloads not completely. The .rar files arent complete downloaded and MB are missing. It seem that SABnzbd cant handle much files at the same time if i download around 3-5 files again that are not complete before the files are downloaded correctly and full!

Look at this pictures please:

On the first pic you can see the normal file size is 256.000 kb (256MB) for all files but SAB didnt downloaded all files completely there are files with only 172 MB or 77 MB but SAB tell me the file was correct downloaded. If i go to nzbindes and mark only the .rar files 22 & 23 for example SAB can download it comepletely and the .part22.rar & .part23.rar file have the right size 256 MB. Quickpar cant repair it on his own i have to collect the broken files and download them again and than i must copy & overwrite them until all files are at 256 MB size to unpack it...

So what is the problem here? What can i do? Why SABnzbd cant handle the downloads anymore... i have this problem with all file ages at usenet!

Hope someone can help me out here...

Are these very recent NZBs?
Some indexers are faster that some Usenet operators.

Sorry iam German and have to look what you mean.

Nearly every NZB i use have this problem no matter how old the files are. Also i tried to select all files and create than the NZB instead to click "download" button but this dont have an effect.

I have this problem sometimes, too. Pretty much every .rar collection I pull has several files with 1 block missing, requiring a repair with Quickpar before extraction. However, some files have many blocks missing from them, like your example that you posted pictures of. I was just assuming that the files weren't available anymore on the usenet server I was downloading them from. I didn't try to re-download only the files that had huge chunks missing from them, though. If that truly does lead to a successful download, then that would me the files are indeed still retained and that there was an error in reading/downloading them. I'll retry downloading something that I had this experience in.

Almost always it's a problem with an incorrect NZB or
missing stuff on the servers.
SABnzbd is very good at the basic task of simply downloading.
If you have doubts, try downloading the same NZB with another Usenet software, for example Grabit.
