Incomplete files after Newsbin is closed and re-opened.

Postby behaviour » Mon Jan 23, 2012 9:52 am

Hello.
I have an issue with downloads: when I close the client during some files being downloaded (or paused) and re-open it again, the files that were in process of downloading always miss a block or few. It happens all the time, I checked on the same set of files with each one being exactly 100,000,000 bytes - after I close and reopen it stays at 99-something even though it's marked as downloaded in the list. Properties show missing blocks, for example only 41 of 44 were downloaded.
Any suggestions? I'd love to keep the client opened all the time, but I need to turn off my PC sometimes. Is it something specific to my setup?
Thanks in advance.

P.S.
Newsbin 6.21, Windows 7 32-bit

I've tried to reproduce this a couple times and not managed. I'll give it another go this morning.

It would be helpful if you tried it with 6.30B3 since that's my current platform to add fixes to.

Updated but I still get the same result (three missing blocks). Let me know if I need to provide any additional details. Thank you.

If you can look in your NBI, can you see a:

[SETTINGS]
MemCacheLimit=?

Setting? If so, what's it set to? I'm trying to figure out of this is related to using the memcache. There will be other settings around it. The question is, whether memcache limit exists in the configuration file.

No, it doesn't have such setting, nothing else that has 'memcache' in its name either.

Thanks. That's just one less thing to look at.

Hello. Sorry for picking up an old thread, I wanted to let you know that the issue still exists.
Since the last post I've got a new PC (also moved from 32 bit to 64 bit), so this is probably the software. Can I somehow turn on re-downloading of incomplete files, like it was in 6.30 before I updated it to 6.32?

It's fixed in both 6.33 and 6.40B2. I'd suggest an upgrade. I did find a real problem and fixed it.

Let me know how they work for you.
