lots of url fetching failed, unusable NZB

[vinister]

I just started getting a bunch of these errors.

This is nzbs.org, beta.nzbs.org, nzbsrus, and nzbmatrix.

The only one that worked upon retry was nzbmatrix. I use sabconnect++ in chrome stable channel. The extension is confirmed working at many index sites. These particular failed downloads were either from sickbeard or couch potato, both of which are also working fine (I can find and download things manually with each program, and it works)

In the status screen there is lots of these messages:

Thanks for any suggestions!

Try release 0.7.0Beta3 (See Announcements).

[vinister]

thanks. I'm on Beta 5 now.

Now what happens is those jobs stay in the queue and just keep re-trying seemingly forever. Can you set it up so that if it fails like 20 times then it stops trying? There must be something else wrong, its obvious that in my case trying again and again isn't accomplishing much.

Indexers like nzbmatrix used to have problems for hours or sometimes a full day.
Limiting retries isn't really automation-friendly.
You can always remove items from the queue.

Funny, right after you posted that, Sabnzbd downloaded 15 TV Episodes all at once. NZBs.Org is my primary provider in sickbeard. I guess they were having issues with their beta site, and a bunch of stuff went through all at once.

Thanks for your efforts!
