downloading a lot of incompletes

[pieper]

Hi there,

I have problems with downing the wild.
When downloading using a nzb created by  www.yabse.com, most of the downloaded rarfiles are incomplete. this varies: typical files  have 1/10 3/10 4/10 5/10  9/10 8/10 etc. Also the filesize indicated in the DL queue is too large. This also varies from 50,550kB 50,552kB 50,556kB 50,544kB 50,568kB 50,535kB etc :?

So I downloaded the posted nzb first and autoimported this. all filesizes now is 48,828kB and downloading is much better but not perfect. 20 files DL'ded so far, 1 file has 7/10, 2 has 8/10 3 has 9/10 and 14 has 10/10 :?

This problem happened to me twice (two different posts) so far. I never had problems with grabit. My newsprovider is pretty good and the post is only 2 days old.  I can sent both nzb files if you like.

The generated rarfiles are all quite large. F.i. part34 has 3/10, but it's size is 47,749kB.

Your program is great, really I love it  :!:  I hope you can fix it

Did some research in this forum. There seems to be no file lock problems caused by Anti virus programs.
Couldn't find the word lock in my logfile.
BTW, I use NOD32 v2.7

Please upload nzb somewhere and then pm me the link or tell me exact subject.

Also detailed log file is needed. All info is in there

Your download url: http://www.filefactory.com/file/a41914/

the file is called thewild.rar, scroll down, click on basic download and fill in code. (it's a really horrible filehost site).

I've tried your 'non working' nzb and I downloaded r05 which I see from your log that is incomplete, but I got ok file with 10/10 blocks

Could you try again r05 with 'bad nzb' (nzb is ok btw)

part 5 is okay now too. So second time download no problem...
Although yesterday evening downloading was successfull completed, it is still an annoying problem.
BTW do you know, why autoparring didn't start yesterday evening? it needed some extra parfiles, but didn't unpause these automaticcally...

I have the same problem. Using NZB from binsearch, and tweaknews as a server. The file is incomplete the first time, but when I try a second time it is often complete.

No probs with sabnzbd or newsleacher. Looks like some timing issue or something. The corrupt file downloaded is often only a few bytes smaller while missing a lot of blocks.

hate to point out the obvious, but maybe it's your news server doesn't have good completion? who do you use?

If I download a file which is incomplete, then I download that same file again and it is complete, then it is not the completeness of my newsserver. Given the fact that it happens on about 10% of the downloaded files.

Did you try Xpat search before 1st dl to see if all files complete at that time, maybe some files didn't propagate 1st time you tried to dl rls?

I use news.quicknet.nl for years now. In my opinion it's one of the better providers. Never had this problem with grabit before.

I'm downing disney-3musketiers now, 3 days old, with  no problem at all (46 of 78 files are received no blocks missing).
There is one difference with previous post, This NZB I've searched within altbinz. The previous post I've searched externally from www.yabse.com  (IE7), generated the NZB and saved it in the autoimport folder.
Maybe the NZB is still in Unix format? Could it be some Unix2dos conversion problem?

2 'non working' nzbs were exact match with those I downloaded via yabse site, so it's not that. I think the problem exists. I'll try to fix it.

I did not know you could use Xpat for that. I never used it actually . But I don't think this is it, since the dvd is a week old.

I will do a test, and look with XPat for the completeness, and then downloading it with AltBinz. Will try both ways, to create an NZB of the same file externally and one within AltBinz.

I use FTD Database to check if a post is complete. The poster has options in this utility to indicate this. Also this post was 2 days old, checked within Yabse (IE7).
