SABnzbd Forums

Hi

So I managed to track down an .nzb for a hard to find file, with an age of about 1100 days(!). However, I have added it to a different nzb downloader, and the files to seem to be on my newsserver and download fine.

However, sabnzbd won't add the nzb. It doesn't seem to produce an error anywhere - it just doesn't do anything. I have tried uploading from the web interface, which succeeds but it never comes up on the list of downloads and the log is empty. I've also tried adding it to my watched folder and that didn't help. I downloaded a different nzb from nzbmatrix as a test and it downloaded fine.

I'd really like to get this working in sabnzbd, so I'm wondering if there is some way to force it to add the file?

SABnzbd accepts only correct NZB, but very occasionally you will find a bad file.
Some other programs will accept those, but not SABnzbd.
First of all there's no excuse for indexing sites to produce non-conforming NZBs
and secondly we decided not to write our own NZB parser, but to use a
standard XML parser. It doesn't accept bad XML (NZBs use XML format).
Please email the NZB to bugs at sabnzbd.org and I'll have a look at it.

The NZB has magically appeared in my queue now - Not entirely sure how! Seems it eventually picked it up from the watch folder.

Thanks for the help anyway
