SABNZBD tries to unpack incomplete downloads..

Post by Skankkid »

Hi...

I'm running on the latest stable on Windows.
My issue is when SABNZBD downloads a set of files that are incomplete (fails PAR check), it still tries to unpack the files.
This is obviously not possible, but Unrar just hangs instead of failing, which means that no further downloads are processed until I manually end the Unrar process.

I have attached the relevant portion of my log, where I have "anonymized" the name of the download.
I have tried changing a few switches in the settings, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Never mind, I've realised that "Post-Process Only Verified Jobs" fixes my issue.
