Doesnt start decoding

[Neiltwo2]

Sometimes when i download a file and go to bed. I wake up and see that every file is 100% (status) But they didnt start decoding. When i close AltBinz and reopen it, it will still not work. So i have to redownload it all..

How can this be?

More information, please: do you mean that your temp folder is full of temp files, and the rars haven't appeared in your download folder? Or do you mean unraring has failed?

Also, please post any relevant log messages, as well as details of your system, OS, Alt.binz version etc.  And it would be helpful if you could define "sometimes".

Or do you mean unraring has failed?

Then this is something Rdl will need to help you with, so let's wait for the Kraken to awake.

I'm 100% sure there is something relevant in log. The only thing that comes to my mind without log is that free space on download drive is below low space value.

I had the same problem once but didn't pay much attention because I thought it was due to my provider. If it will happen again I will let you know.

as you can see, it says decoding, but it isnt doing anything

The picture is taken when exactly. After downloading or after exiting program and then entering it again? I'm confused because there is no progress bar for collection? Also, NZB file was downloaded from where? The only thing that comes to my mind is that NZB file is in some way corrupted. I based that on the fact that the only two files that got decoding status have 1 article. Files should get Decoding status as soon as all articles are downloaded (yes, even before the file is sent to decoding thread) From the picture and the log all I can conclude is that somehow program didn't realise that the file is finished.

After restarting the program

Indeed, there is none.

Newzleech.com  i believe

huh?

Files should get Decoding status as soon as all articles are downloaded (yes, even before the file is sent to decoding thread)
when 1 file is done downloading, and reaches 100% it turns pink saying decoding. Here it doesnt start decoding, it freezes at 100%

From the picture and the log all I can conclude is that somehow program didn't realise that the file is finished.
ok

I've had exactly the same today, it turns out that my C:\ drive was full (it had accidently downloaded some files to there) and thus it could not start decoding.

I freed up some space but altbinz did not automatically start decoding upon program restart. I had to download another file to get the decoding process started again. Once it finished the newly downloaded file, it started on the others and decoded them all just fine.

Check your log files (C:\Program Files\AltBinz\log\*.log) to see why it has stopped decoding, solve that problem [antivirus, full drive, insufficient rights etc] and then download a small file to get the decoding started.

Tonight the same problem. The icon with the green arrow turns into a clock while the download indicator says 100%. Nothing in the log file.

I also had the problem overnight...  The only thing i did was change the download directory and the temp directory to a new NAS (with plenty of free space).

I deleted temp files, and installed the latest alt.binz (old fashioned way of fixing things).

I'll check the logs tonight to see if i can shed any light on the subject...

Only time I've seen Alt.Binz stop at decoding has been when the path/file name has been too long.

But this does show up in red in the log.

okay, i've had it like a million times now..

is there a fix for this?
