The 'sanity' forum rule is that you don't show what you're downloading. There are so many topics where I have nothing to say because the rule was properly followed, and so the discussion is only theoretical and not specific, but for this topic I can actually go look at real world files. The post tha...

The other post is not a bad post.

Look at discussion topic 50937 in the NZBMatrix forums.

I have an old version of SABnzbd, 0.4-something. Backup server not tried, the text articles are cached, and the string 'Content removed due to DMCA.' is assembled into the corrupted binary file.

The NZB I emailed is a small PAR2 file consisting of 13 articles.
1,3,4,7,10,11,12,13 - were not removed from Astraweb.
2,5,6,8,9 - were removed and replaced with text articles.

Two examples, top one is from Astraweb, the bottom one is from a Dutch provider.

What does SABnzbd do with replacement text articles?

The backup server is owned by the same company as the primary. Both providers removed 4.5% of the data at the request of the content owner.

Please PM to me a msg-id, I can find it from that.

By "sometimes" I mean that the empty body error is 100% repeatable with certain articles, but it only affects some of the articles of each file.

I thought of that after I posted the above message and I sure wish that GROUP before BODY did work but it doesn't seem to.

The only reason is to work around a malfunctioning news server. Why should SABnzbd do that? Maybe SABnzbd shouldn't, but it's a server in the sticky "Getting a lot of "not enough repair blocks"?" which a lot of people are using as a backup. Maybe the best solution is to contact t...

I would like to use the NNTP command:

ARTICLE <msg-id>

instead of:

BODY <msg-id>

If there is already a way to switch from one command to the other I'm sorry I missed it while searching.

Thanks for the PM. You were 11 blocks short, but I don't know if you downloaded the sample. The poster included the sample in the PAR2 source files. NZBIndex.nl has two NZBs, one for the sample and one for the rest of the post. The sample has 44 good blocks out of 45. The post was uploaded with a de...

I'm curious about debugging the "bad" post itself but can go no further because it's against the forum rules for me to know what it was.
