ZERO download speed
« on: April 28, 2012, 12:11:45 am »
I've just updated to 0.39.5 and I'm getting a perculiar error.  Well, it's not even showing as an error.  My modem light is flashing frantically but I am getting 0MB download speed.  If I look at my save folders (and the temp one) the folders are empty, well, not empty, but don't have a folder for the file it is supposedly downloading.  Never had this issue previously.  Any ideas?  It does say it's connected and authorized but occasionally I see a "200 Welcome To Virgin Media" message appear.

I'm using Win7 x64 Pro with, as I say, AB 0.39.5., standard Windows firewall (Security Essentials).

What does your (detailed) Log report?

Looks like there's an issue with the files.  I tried another program and it kept saying segment not found on the two files I was trying to download so this can be closed (I guess), although I don't know what AB says it's 100% complete when in fact it's 0% complete.

The 100% in the progress bar means only that Alt.Binz finished trying to download the NZB, including all retry attempts (set via Setup > Connection).

Remember that Alt.Binz does not know whether all the segments of the NZB are available on your server until it tries to download them. Your server's completion may be different than the indexer's from which you grabbed the NZB - so any % completion column in the search engines refers only to what the indexer knows.

Your detailed Log will always give you info of what happened when Alt.Binz tried to download an NZB, so you should enable it.
