Fill nzbbackup folder with "fake" nzbs?

[theCheek]

Hi, I have some serious rss feeds set up from newzbin which are an attempt to skip out sickbeard and constantly monitor for new episodes for every series in my collection. However this is (obviously) resulting in a huge number of duplicates being queued. I had an idea to create shortcuts of every file currently in my tv archives and place them into my nzbbackup folder, rename them to .nzb, and see what happens. Do you think this is wise, and better yet, do u think it would work?

If you do, the names should end in gz.nzb
The check will only succeed when the names of the NZB files are exactly identical
to what SABnzbd will receive from newzbin.

Ok cheers, will give it a go... is there any limit to the amount of files there can be in the backup directory before performance is affected?

Depends on the OS. Your mileage may vary.
