Hi,

I'm downloading a 43GB file which is about 95% complete but now I just keep getting:-

[16:31:30] HIGH - Bad XML Line:1Column: 2

I assume the nzb is corrupt? Trouble is the nzb is obviously large and trying to fix is probably going to be a nightmare.

I'd rather not ditch the download and try another nzb so any advice gratefully received.

NZB search engine: GingaDaddy
NB Pro (reg): 6.01B1 x64
Platform: Win 7 x64 ultimate
Usenet: Giganews

for it to be bad in the first line, suggests it's not really an NZB. Maybe it's a ZIP or RAR with the wrong extension.

There are really only a couple choices

1 - Fix it yourself

2 - Find another copy of the NZB from some other source.

3 - Download the headers and ignore the NZB.

4 - Use Newsbin search.

Ahhh,

I lied, I DID use nb search not a .nzb from gingadaddy. I looked in my "loaded" folder and no nzb was there for the download issue. Despite being a nbpro veteran I'm new to the search facility. Is there a tutorial on it, eg where it stores the list of headers for download.

I am still perplexed why it got so far in the download before it started throwing up this line 1 colum 2 xml error.

Do you have Newsbin set to autoload NZB's? I suspect you have multiple things going on at once.

- Download sourced from Newsbin search

- Newsbin looking for NZB's


If you have the autoload folder set to be the same as the download folder (bad idea). Autoload might be looking at the newly downloaded files and that's why the XML error started popping up. I'm not convinced there's really a problem. If you have the autoload set to the same as download. Change it to something else. You don't want the downloads and autoload both processing in the same folder.

Thanks for the help Quade. FYI it had downloaded all the parts, it was the unrar process that failed as the stupid thing is pwd protected.

Latest 6 beta lets you automatically fail encrypted files. Option is in the advanced options tab. It'll download one rar, check it, fail the rest of the download.

Very, very neat.
