Files downloaded, processed, files still listed

Postby nbwul62 » Sat Apr 09, 2016 9:15 am

It is a bit of a weird thing and a regular occurrence.

Newsbin v6.62 b4358

Start downloading files
They show up at the bottom (downloading files-section)
I start another few sets, say 4-5 or more.
They all show up alright.

So far, so good.

Now at some point a download has been finalized.
The results show up in the Newsbin\Download folder.
(e.g. MKV or DVD)

The download has stopped, but a number of .rar-files of a set (nzb) is not cleared from the download files section.
It looks as IF the files should still be downloaded, which is not the case: files are unpacked, the file is available.
Downloadspeed 0.

Because of this, any other pending downloads are not being processed.
I need to do a 'Move to top' to get those downloads started.

Or, alternatively, I -usually- exit Newsbin and relaunch it.
Then the hanging 'ready' files are 'cleared' and the download of the pending sets is started.

It is not a big issue, but I guess it is worthwhile to report and usually only happens
when there is bigger queue.

You might want to:

1 - Select "Open Data Folder" from the options.

2 - Exit Newsbin

3 - Delete the file "DownloadsV2.db3" from the newly opened window.

4 - Restart Newsbin.

This will clear the download, failed and wish lists. Newsbin will regenerate the file.

Just for your info and further to my above post, also note that files have been processed/unpacked, etc.
and everything is okay but there are still a number of files (belonging to those sets) that have not been
downloaded, for whatever reasons and after re-launching Newsbin again, Newsbin 'remembers' there were
files still to be downloaded and starts downloading them. Need to pause/delete them.
This, of course, would be great in case indeed the downloads were not completed files not unpacked,etc.

That aside, the open data folder - where to find?

Thanks.
