SABnzbd 0.6.15


Hi Shypike,

Today I noticed that SABnzbd hung during extracting a downloaded file. About 4 more downloaded files were also downloaded after this file and waiting for unpacking. No other files were queued for downloading anymore. I noticed it about 10 hours after the file was downloaded and there was no harddisk activity. Taskmanager showed that the file unzip.exe was running. I killed it (with earlier versions killing unrar.exe used to solve this kind of situation) but unzip.exe kept starting automatically again every time. Selecting Restart had no effect. I finally gave up and rebooted the PC. Subsequent downloads failed due to the destination harddisk being full (the harddisk used for the incomplete file was not full but the harddisk assigned for the category of the file was actually full) But these subsequently downloaded files did not cause SABnzbd to hang. The log did not show anything for this issue.


The history entry for the file shows the following:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - Download failed - Out of your server's retention? 692 MB Failed

Note that the folder C:\SABnzbd\incomplete is used for the incomplete downloads, not for the final destination for this category.
The log does not show anything for this case. It only shows that I had rebooted later.


The next downloaded file shows a correct entry in history:

Looks like misbehaviour on the part of unzip, a program we have no influence on.
Because of that, it's hard to fix this.
However, we are looking at replacing unzip with 7zip.

Same issue here but with unrar. 0.6.15 on Synology DS1812+ hangs during unpacking. It eventually gets there but blocks everything else from being usable.
