fetching timeout only on older files

Post by fire111 »

my computer crashed so had to reinstall my medusa and sabnzbd everything works fine except downloading older nzb files on both nzbgeek and nzbplanet times out fetching I'm using the latest copy's of both sab and medusa ...is there something I'm missing? daily downloads seem to work fine. And sometimes older nzb's work but it's almost like I reach my limit of allowable nzb per day..but I have unlimited at both nzb sites.

what is "older"?

Can you download this NZB: https://www.binsearch.info/?q=reftestnz ... 00&server= ?

And does Medusa supply the NZB link directly, or does it supply Sab with a link to. Medusa which then fetches the file?

older as in past the last few days..not sure how long... it downloaded your file fine and I can download anything if I go to the site and manually pick an nzb it's only when medusa picks it and sends it to sab that it has trouble fetching it.... I'm sure it's a setting I'm missing somewhere...sorry not really very good at this stuff. This is all on one windows 10 computer nothing fancy just standard setup.
Just did some more tests and it downloads everything that was posted in 2021....anything older than that it times out trying to fetch

So ... does SAB say "Trying to fetch NZB from ... "?

If so ... that URL is it trying to fetch? You can also get that from the sabnzbd.log file

Code: Select all

no idea what any of that means but part of the log file says
Unknown filetype when fetching NZB, retry after 30s
the site won't let me post the rest ...not sure but I think this may be a medusa problem

So the problem was Medusa.

Good to hear you found a solution.
