I have long used the NZB Backup folder to store NZBs but I find quite a few NZBs fail to download due to DMCA etc and I want to store the NZBs of successful downloads ONLY. Is that possible or do I need to somehow script it? Looking on Wiki I found this with a typo BTW? .nzb ...

On my setup: I set the limit to 1% of 100MB/s, so 1 MB/s, and SAB 4.0.0 (beta1) behaves quite nicely:

NB: this is with the 100 MB test download. So that there is no DMCA nor newsserver switching involved.

Yes, some content is DMCA'd really quickly and completely. As your stats show.

And as you have eweka, which IMHO has the best service, I think you're out of luck.

turning this whole newsgroup thing into a pita, sadly

Maybe this whole newsgroup thing is then not your thing?

... "The most likely cause: the post is not available (anymore) on the news server you use because the post has been (partly) removed because of DMCA notices." - How do I actually test/tell that this is the case. I'm puzzled by this, as I'm trying to dl a relatively new media series which ...

... in a different manner to torrents. You’ll generally need more than one Usenet service provider. This is most useful when articles are missing (via DMCA takedown, retention limits, etc…) Different Usenet service providers have different missing articles, so the idea is to get enough overlap between ...

... no error message (like in the subject)? Well, that is very bad news about your setup: that 1GB download is a reference download. It will never get DMCA'd. So if you can't download that, your setup (local plus newsserver) is in a very bad state. EDIT maybe start with * full virusscan (if on Windows) ...

... is Gigibytes. If so, that the amount is correct. And thus that reference download went OK. Then back to your problem: I assume it's just DMCA-ed post. With only one newsserver, that is a problem. I would advice another service (block account?) on another backbone. BUT if, like you say, ...

... and frugal and a tweaknews gb account for fill. But almost everything has been failing. Now some thing I can understand, might be hit with DMca. But generally pdf files are fine but all these are falling short as well. https://pastebin.com/dl/HTKDBaXM They all tend to look the same. I don’t ...

The 1000mb test download speed is 65mb/s.

Other NZB files are between 0-5mb/s. they still download but at a very slow rate.

would a DMCA'ed post cause that? is there a setting I can change to search for better posts?

the test downloads are downloading faster.

What speed?

The downloads are slow only when I download from one of the usenet servers.

The test download is also "from one of the usenet servers."; It is a real download. Of a post that will not DMCA'ed

... I am trying to download a file, NewsDemon server will be used first. If the download fails because say it has missing data or it has suffered a DMCA takedown, the Giganews server will be used next. Am I correct in thinking this? How can I check if the Giganews server was attempted to be used ...

... spoke to the newsgroup company and they said that I would likely see this behaviour as the articles I was trying to download have been removed by DMCA takedowns. I've tried a fresh install and no luck, it still tries to download at a tiny speed (B/s). I've tested server connections all fine, nearly ...
