Install SABnzbd on a PC and test one of the failing NZB files.
Just to make sure it leads to a usable result.

I have been getting this on my qnap with newer downloads from townag. older files download OK.
i ' m on SABnzbd Version: 0.7.20 which i think was the last one on qnap.. I was able to download and unrar using newsleecher.. perhaps an upgrade is required..

i suspect a newer type of rar file? Winrar also won't open the file.

See https://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.ph ... 185#p89127 and follow the instruction

TL;DR: update the unrar binary on your QNAP to the current version of unrar. As you have a QNAP, you might depend on QNAP or it's packagers

On my box (not QNAP):

Code: Select all

sander@cubox:~$ unrar | head -2

UNRAR 5.30 beta 2 freeware      Copyright (c) 1993-2015 Alexander Roshal
So ... unrar version 5.30.
