Do you experience problems during downloading?
Check your connection in Status and Interface settings window.
Use Test Server in Config > Servers.
We will probably ask you to do a test using only basic settings.
Do you experience problems during repair or unpacking?
Enable +Debug logging in the Status and Interface settings window and share the relevant parts of the log here using [ code ] sections.
Running 64bit version 4.2.3 on Windows 10 pro. Getting an following unrecoverable error on MOST downloads mandating a full application kill and restart .
Log entry:
::INFO::[notifier:142] Sending notification: Error - Fatal error in Downloader (type=error, job_cat=None)
::ERROR::[downloader:697] Fatal error in Downloader
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: b'Pat'
(the two dots before the ..py are because of this editor that won't let me post one dot)
This happens on hundreds of random samples - even nzb's that worked before.
Problem disappeared after downgrade to 4.2.2.
Issue replicated on both giganews and highwinds backbones (on exact same nzbs).
Will try and test 4.3b when I can and get back to report.
To clarify: reported this issue as FYI because I'm sure it's/will be wide-spread. Not because I require support. I'm good with 4.2.2 for the moment.
I probably should have opened an issue on github... sorry.
Update on this issue:
Finally upgraded to 4.3 and the problem changed to the 221 status code error. There's a github issue (#2822: fatal error in downloader with giganews) that reflects exactly the issue I had (Soz, can't post links yet).
The proposed solution of turning off pre-check seems to have solved it - for now.
For others that may face this issue, pre-check can be switched off in the Settings -> Switches -> Queue -> "Check before download"
Will report back if problem persists (or mutates).
