Version 6.53 Release Candidate 1

Postby dexter » Sun Jul 27, 2014 4:32 pm

We are doing a quick-turn release to address some fairly critical errors that were uncovered once more people started using 6.52. They are:

  • Fixed issue where Newsbin wouldn't assemble after retries expired.
  • Fixed issue where PARS wouldn't un-pause when they were supposed to.
  • Fixed issue where disabling autopar would still pause par downloads.
  • Fixed issue where Unraring image files would totally stall out Newsbin.

More information and the download link is on the Newsbin Beta Page.

Still no unraring, but then there was no mention of it in the fixes.

That's because it works for me 100% of the time.

I'm trying to figure out if there's some timing problem. Lets be clear you're talking about unraring when you have PARS too or unraring when you don't have PARS?

The only unrar problem I'm aware of now is people who want unrar without pars. There's doesn't seem to be a problem with unraring when you have pars.

With NO par's. The groups I frequent rarely have par's in them, these are files (<1Mb usually) in rar format, they are combined placed in the right folder just not unpacked.
I can pm you a couple of examples of the files if you want.

Let me first say, I don't normally use .nzb files, so this may be expected behavior. When I double check an .nzb file, it downloads fine. However, its never removed from the download list, even though the transfer was successful. When I go to manually remove the download, I'm presented with a warning box, that says, "Delete Partial Downloads from Disk?" So, my question is, is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

It's not normal, it should leave the download list after it downloads. If it is stuck in the download list then the download is not complete. You can check the Logging tab for messages to see if it's getting errors. You can also check the Status column in the download list to determine the state. You should see D, DL, Inc, P, R, and N in the Status column. If the R is counting up and the N is counting down, it means Newsbin is performing retries to complete the download. If you expand the post in the Download List by clicking the + sign to the left, you should be able to see what file it is hung up on.

Most likely you are getting error number 430 meaning the post has been removed from the server and Newsbin is retrying hoping it'll show up.

Here is what I get:

Status:
[PAR Process] Automatic UnRAR Disabled 0%: Completed

File is not removed. No errors in the log. File checks ok and unrars just fine.

Look in the autopar options. There's a checkbox for removing repaired but, not unrared files.
