Did you tell SABnzbd where that password file is in Config->Folders?
Second where is the job, in the queue: if so resume it by clicking on the square box left of the job.
If as Failed in the History, click "Retry".

Only when you set a password in the title, download will continue without pausing.
The presence of the password file will not.
Otherwise you might as well have disabled the pause/abort option for encrypted files.
A single password for a specific job can be added to the title like this:
My favorite show/password
You do that by clicking on the job title so that you'll get the details page of the job.

A password file contains one password per line.

sorry, i cannot set any password in any title or somthing else.
the password file is useless i guess. the passwords are in the textfile but sabnzb will not use the file, i guess...
i´ve disabled the "stop function" when a file is protected with passwort. so it will now download complete but it do not extract...

what do you mean with?
"my favorite show/password" ?
when is click on the finished title i will get details but not more.

Yes, you can.
You already reached the details page.
At the top you can edit the title of the NZB. Just add a slash / and the password.
Since a slash cannot be part of a title, SABnzbd knows that what's behind it is a password.

Hi,

i have the same Problems with the encrypte downloads. I'm running Sabnzbd on a QNAB Turbo Nas. I created a .txt file named passwords on my Windows Desktop an moved it to the Sabnzbds config folder. Then I wrote the hole path including the file name into Config -> Folder. When i click now to retry (download is already finished) i only get an error message "unrar needs a password". Whats going wrong? Thank for helping.

What does the path for the password file look like?
It should be written as an internal NAS path and not as a Windows path.

The casing is right (uppercase/lowercase)?
If the path is correct and it has the proper access right, I see no reason why SABnzbd should not read it.

You are right! The config Folder is writen in lowercase. I changed it and what should i say - it works! Thank you so much! I was almost to despair.
