Running 64bit version 4.2.3 on Windows 10 pro. Getting an following unrecoverable error on MOST downloads mandating a full application kill and restart .
Log entry:

Code: Select all

::INFO::[notifier:142] Sending notification: Error - Fatal error in Downloader (type=error, job_cat=None)
::ERROR::[downloader:697] Fatal error in Downloader
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "sabnzbd\newswrapper..py", line 98, in status_code
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: b'Pat'

(the two dots before the ..py are because of this editor that won't let me post one dot)
This happens on hundreds of random samples - even nzb's that worked before.
Problem disappeared after downgrade to 4.2.2.

Could you please try 4.3.0 Beta?
What provider do you use?

Issue replicated on both giganews and highwinds backbones (on exact same nzbs).
Will try and test 4.3b when I can and get back to report.

To clarify: reported this issue as FYI because I'm sure it's/will be wide-spread. Not because I require support. I'm good with 4.2.2 for the moment.
I probably should have opened an issue on github... sorry.

It's not widespread, you're the first one reporting it.
So let's see what 4.3.0 reports.

Update on this issue:
Finally upgraded to 4.3 and the problem changed to the 221 status code error. There's a github issue (#2822: fatal error in downloader with giganews) that reflects exactly the issue I had (Soz, can't post links yet).
The proposed solution of turning off pre-check seems to have solved it - for now.
For others that may face this issue, pre-check can be switched off in the Settings -> Switches -> Queue -> "Check before download"

Will report back if problem persists (or mutates).
