fail rar files that need password

[Fisherking]

Dear Quade
Although I've checked "fail rar files that need password" in spam filter settings, newsbin keeps downloading passworded RARs without failing. Is there another option/switch to prevent this ?

V6.91RC1

I'd upgrade to RC3 and see if that solves it.

Are they rars and not 7zips?

They are Rars, and single tier structure, I mean there is not rar inside rar and so on

OK, I will try RC3 and let you know
Thanks & Best Regards

I've Updated to RC3 and tried one of them, the result is the same. It keeps downloading all sets.
First, it couldn't detect the total size, after loading the first par and rar, it detects the real total set size and continues to DL

The download list does "demand loading" meaning when they download first starts Newsbin loads the information to download before it starts downloading. I suspect that's what you mean. It's not using the information from the server to set the sizes. The PAR block count is set by the first par download.

How are you adding the files to download? The "force mode" Ctrl-Y will bypass the password check. I depend on password checking a decent amount. I suspect the files are being "forced" bypassing the password check.

In the "spam filter settings" make sure "Fail RAR that needs password" is checked.

I collect headers via Forte Agent than I build NZBs with it. After that, I put these NZBs to Newsbin's AutoNZB folder to feed DL list. So I don't do any forcing.

"Fail RAR that needs password" switch is always on for years

NZB's that are autoloaded are automatically "force downloaded". Let me investigate whether you can disable this or not.

Thank you & Best Regards

1 - In Newsbin do a "file save as" then note the location of your NBI file. It should be in the same folder as the data folder but it might not be. Then cancel without saving.

2 - Exit Newsbin. Then load the NBI file into a text editor like wordpad or VS code. The default filename is "Newsbin.nbi". The extension might be hidden.

3 - Look for the NZB section.

Code: Select all

[NZB]
NZB_BypassFilters = 0/1


If you set it to zero, it won't bypass the filters anymore. You might have to add this value if it's not there already.

Code: Select all

NZB_BypassFilters = 0


Then save.

I really recommend making a backup copy of the NBI before you edit it. Just in case.

This should make the password checker apply to the NZB files.

Mine was "NZB_BypassFilters=1"
I've changed it to "NZB_BypassFilters=0" and let you know the results
Many Thanks & Best Regards

Tested, confirm that it worked !!!

Thank you again Quade
