frogbs posted:I'm getting a 'not enough repair blocks' error on pretty much every file i've tried in the last month. I'm using blocknews. Is this an instance of needing a second, supplemental provider or is something else probably wrong? Try it, Astraweb blocks start at $10 for 25GB (maybe some Highwinds resellers sell for less and you can try those instead, dunno). I almost never used Blocknews alone, but when I (accidentally) did, it wasn't any good.

If the problem is that severe I think a change in main provider is called for. Block accounts are intended to be for the odd time that main providers fail, as opposed to the norm.

Similar problem with my tweaknews block account last few days, half the rars are missing, never enough repair blocks. Mind you only been trying to grab one particular recently posted thing, but no drat version of it works. Irritating!

I must coincidentally only care about things that the owners don't bother with DMCAs. I've got almost 200 things in SB, and I have had less than 5 failures in the past several months. I was using SuperNews, but switched to newsdemon a few weeks ago because it was cheaper. I use blocknews and tweaknews as backups and between the two of them they've been hit for almost 500 megabytes in the past month. I'm honestly pretty confused as to whats going on. I wish I knew so I could offer a solution...

I've been getting a lot of stuff that's been misnamed recently. So even though SABNZB says it doesn't have enough repair blocks, a manual quickpar check shows that everything is there and it just renames everything. So always try a manual repair before deleting. I don't know whether this is intentional as some method to slow down DMCA takedowns or what.

How old is your version of Sabnzb? A couple of releases ago they fixed an issue similar to that.

I'm noticing some larger releases with multiple items are all named the same way. So for each file I'm downloading, it's got 12345.rar, 12345.r00, etc etc. It dumps them all into the same directory, so I end up with 12345.rar, 12345.rar.1, 12345.rar.2, etc etc. The only way I can use this is if I manually rename the 12345.par.x to 12345.x.par and then run it through quickpar, which finds the misnamed files and fixes everything up. Should SABnzbd be downloading each of these into their own folder or something? Is the poster just making terrible releases? Can Sabnzbd be made to properly handle these releases? I got burnt the first time it happened because it downloaded 15GB, only found a single par file for an 800 mb file, extracted that, and deleted the other 14GB of data.

Much like thermopyle, I must have incredible luck cause I have not had a failed downloaded in ages. I also have a ridiculously long list of backup servers, but still, most of my stuff comes from Supernews. I'll repost my blockbusting combo of servers again if anyone is interested.

This is purely anecdotal but I was downloading a couple of highly anticipated (and therefore probably DMCA'd) new TV episodes yesterday and I noticed sabnzbd was only using my free XSusenet account to download. Which I guess means it was DMCA'd from Newsdemon, Astraweb and Tweaknews but XS still had all the parts! Added something unrelated to my queue and it switched back over to my regular accounts immediately.

Just checked mine after an equally anticipated Linux Iso download and everything came from Astraweb. That was via sickbeard so maybe it was just grabbing it before it had a chance to be taken down?

More back-ups is always a good idea. I wish I knew for certain how to make SAB try to use the less-expensive blocks before the more-expensive blocks, though.

I have Astraweb as my main and Blocknews as my back up plan. Haven't had a failed download in ages and usually I start sickbeard (120+ items) once I get back from work, which means >12 hours after most releases with me beeing in europe and everything.

They've said they are working on this, or they want to, but it would require such a massive rewrite of their code that it will take a really long time.

Doesn't it go through backup servers from top to bottom? You can't sort the list but you should be able to enter them in your desired order.

Daktari posted:What does that mean? Here's what I'd do: Put this in Windows Explorer's address bar: %LOCALAPPDATA%\sabnzbd (it might also be in SABnzbd's program files directory) Rename sabnzbd.ini to something else, try to rename sabnzbd.ini.bak to sabnzbd.ini. If that sabnzbd won't start, undo that rename and start SABnzbd. It will go through the first-run wizard. You can likely find your old info (directories, passwords, API keys, etc) in the older .ini files. Maybe a bother, but only really like 4 minutes. I'm not sure it likes when I paste the old api keys in the config page. I remember I closed SAB and manually copied my old ones into the .ini at one point for it to stick. Easier than changing all your online services to a new key. gary oldmans diary fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Aug 17, 2013 |

Is it possible to have Sabnzbd sort finished downloads based on keywords? And to only move the useful file from the download, and not the whole folder? So like sickbeard does but based on a specific word or title?

OK, so say I wanted to move every distro with the word 'fedora' into the title into a specific folder, and only move the iso itself, not the folder or associated crap, how would I do that? Sorry if that's a dumb question, I just cant seem to get my head around it

Scripting language depends on what you have installed. Here's a Windows batch file to try to move such a file and (only if the proceeding command was successful) clear other files from the directory and get rid of the sub-directories (only happens if they're empty, which should only happen if the file moved right) and the directory itself: FOR /F "delims=" %%F IN ('DIR /B /S %%1\*fedora*.iso') DO ^ MOVE /Y "%%F" C:\butts\linux && ^ DEL /S /Q "%%1\*.*" FOR /F "delims=" %%G IN ('DIR /AD /B /S "%%1" ^| SORT /R') DO ^ RD "%%G" RD "%%1" (UNTESTED) Also, if you anticipate more than 1 file matching *fedora*.iso, you'd want to break up that first command or only 1 is getting copied and the rest deleted. If this is entirely unfamiliar, ignore it and learn Python instead. gary oldmans diary fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Aug 17, 2013 |

Anybody else noticing uptime issues with nzbs.org? It's not usable at the moment. By the way, what's a good consensus for an alternative should the worst happen with nzbs.org? NZBclub and binsearch seem like a step down, so I'm looking for some more robust choices.

Is there any control over the Backlog other than a straight Pause? I woke up to 2,000 items in my SAB queue because SickBeard went on a rampage and decided to grab the last 3 years worth of all the daily airing stuff I have in my list (that gets automatically deleted after 2 weeks). It's probably only about halfway through but it's probably hammering the hell out of the SAB Indexer and I doubt they'd want that. Don't think there's any options to remove a show from the backlist? I can go through each one and set all the old seasons to Skipped which would help I'm sure, but it might be too late for this run?
