files not resuming and redownloading all parts

Postby gkar » Wed Mar 27, 2013 2:39 pm

Hi I have a number of files that(from search) that fail the "whats already downloaded check" i get a lot of these, enough for me to have to check NB each time i reload. I sent Quade an NZB with an example.

any ideas

Many downloads now use 'obfusticated' names in the NZB file relying the download process to get back to the correct names as part of making DCMA takedown candidates harder for the copyright owners to find.. Newsbin certainly seems to have problems realising this sort of obfusticated entry is already downloaded as the name in the NZB is different to the name on disk. I guess sorting out this sort of issue is likely to be on Quade's radar for the 6.5x series :)

ok. I think ive seen that e.g file "123475345" this isnt like that and is a an old file over 1000 days old.

btw I cant send a file through PM(I get the nzb extension is not allowed) ive tried to rar it, remove extension, rename to .txt. Any ideas?

This has been completely re-done in 6.50. The beta is in Dex's hot little hands while we do some additional testing. Might want to wait till it's out, then revisit.
