[0.4.2] SABnzbd+ is stuck in the "Moving" status

[Dagur]

Hi,

I'm getting this strange error (sometimes, not all of the time) when i download something. Sabnzbd+ downloads everything, parchecks, extracts, moves the files and then is stuck in the "Moving..." status.

This brings me to the second problem. When something is causing problems and the queue is stuck, there's no way to drop the current job and get started on the next one. I always have to remove the job from the history and restart SABnzbd+. It gets a little annoying since I have to ssh into the server each time.

I'm using Ubuntu server 8.04

Hi,

This happened to me when I was using the newest version of unrar (are you sure the unrar completed)?  There's been a few threads about this.  Anyways after downgrading to 3.5 (?)  from 3.7 ( which I believe is the newest)  the issue gets much better.    If you want to downgrade you'll have to find the .deb on their homepage (rarsoft I believe).    if you %sudo top  and see  unrar -vb  /var/XXX/XXX/yourfile.rar (or similar) just hanging there, I think it might be worth a shot.

Hello, I'm running this on WinXP and have had the same problem for the past few months.  The solution that I just tested from this thread seems to have solved my problem.

- Shutdown SABnzbd
- Installed "latest" WinRAR 3.9 from their site
- Renamed: C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\win\unrar\UnRAR.exe to UnRAR.exe.bak
- Copied: C:\Program Files\WinRAR\UnRAR.exe to C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\win\unrar\
- Restarted SABnzbd

... boom, my downloads are no longer hanging in "moving" state.

THANKS to poster for this.

Thanks for the tip.
I think we should upgrade the unrar program in our Windows distribution.
