SABnzbd No longer downloading

[d3m0l1sh3r]

I used SAB with OZNZB for a few months and everything was peachy.
But then about a month or so ago, files stopped downloading properly. Every once in a while a newly-added file would download perfectly, but I'd constantly have them get stuck in the queue at various points with seemingly no reason for them not to download.
Restarting SAB, repairing queue, removing the file and starting over - none of these had any consistent effect.
Under Status, I'd rarely have any relevant warnings, and it'd show active connections through my host.

Today it happened again with brand new files (usually it seemed to be just on older ones - that's now proven to be completely inconsistent too) so I tried removing OZNZB and a second host from my "servers" list and just went with my main host. No luck.

Then a warning was consistently thrown: "ERROR LOADING sabnzbd\admin\future\SABnzbd_attrib failed"
Looked it up, and the posts said to repair (already did that a few times, no luck) then to delete everything in the admin folder except a history.db1 file.

I did that, and now files are pretending to download, but not downloading. The download speed never goes past 0 (or sometimes like 100kb/s), but the files will progressively fill up and then fail the extraction because there's no actual data in the files.

Any advice?

I had a look at your log file, and here are the remarks:

Code: Select all

oznzb.com is not a newsserver, so remove that

So 7121 articles "missing from all servers". You see that in your History too, don't you? Do you know what that means?

Lower the number of connections to 8 per newsserver.

Not good, but I don't know the cause.

1. Done
2. That only started showing for the first time after deleting the stuff from the admin folder, doesn't show anywhere but in the log.
3. Done.
4. Doesn't seem to be happening anymore.

Did a repair and re-running with changes.

[d3m0l1sh3r]

Alright, tried new downloads. They're downloading at very slow speeds (9-200 kb/s) but acting as if they finish.
They fail during extraction with errors
" Invalid par2 files, cannot verify or repair "
"No details available for recoverable file number 1. "
For files that by all means should work.

Tried opening the RARs myself, but 7Zip is unable to open them as an archive.

Here's today's log; looks about the same - https://mega.nz/#!iFACWSIC!unR3rSpoOLS_ ... lg-Ri09Vtg


Thanks for your help.

Please find an NZB of which you know it hasn't been removed.
Look for "ubuntu".
Or try an alternative program like Grabit.

[d3m0l1sh3r]

Alright, I guess it's working now; some things are downloading fine. it just seems very strange that the most recent episodes of like 3-4 of my TV shows are magically dead/unable to download when I've never had that happen.
Also getting annoyed at how many older downloads seem to only download 1/5 of the way then "out of your server's retention?"

Thanks for your help.

The annoying thing about the things that don't download - 1 show "doesn't have enough repair blocks", 3 episodes of another show has "Invalid PAR2 files", and another just doesn't download.
All of these have active connections while they sit in queue, which to me says they should download. (Mainly being a weird thing for the one that doesn't download more than 1/5 to 1/3 of it.)

[shypike]

A lot of posts are removed from servers within hours.
Especially from mainstream servers.

[d3m0l1sh3r]

We're talking like over 40+ downloads, from 8+ different shows, with no reported removals/issues on OZN. Doesn't seem right.

But either way I guess it can't really be an issue with SAB, so I guess this is fixed.
