Made a mistake - purge history

Post by TJC_Erik »

Hello!

I'm quite new to binaries and such - also to sABnzbd.
I've downloaded SABnzbd 0.3.4 a few hours ago and after that a dvd using sab.

The movie was in stage PAR2 if I remember correctly and I clicked purge history (not very clever to do so apparently ;)).

Now I'm left with 2 folders in my 'complete' folder. For some reason sab doesnt seem to be able to finish the job. The 2 folders remain unchanged.

I'm not sure what to do next. Is there any way I can make sab finish the job? Or get the job finished in any other way?

Thanks for your help, patience and understanding.

Best regards,

Erik (Win XP)

Due to the fact that the history item was removed, SABnzbd lost its administration on about the job.

What you can do is use program like QuickPar to verify and repair the set of files in the complete directory.
Then use WinRar to unpack it.
If your are familiar with command line use, you can use the par2.exe and unrar.exe programs that
are distributed with SABnzbd.

The next release of SAB will make it impossible to delete the history of a still running job.
(Active jobs should only be removed in the Queue page).
