Why is SABnzbd so bad at extracting files?

Post by oealias »

It's mind blowing how it can't handle this simple task without an error.

It seems to be completely at random. I'll have a file download and then I look in SABnzbd and see an error like this:
Unpacking failed, unable to find file.r04
Then I go look in the folder and see the file extracted perfectly fine.

This is such an annoyance because my post processing scripts don't run.

Maybe you can send me an example of an NZB that fails like that I can try to see what is the problem? [email protected]
