Alt Binz reports downloads finished when it hasn't

[noelmm]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using Altbinz V0.25.0 and every time I attempt to download a file of more than 2.5GB the file will attempt to download and after so much time will report 100% completed however when I attempt to view the downloaded file the file fails to work, I then re-import the original nzb file and the progress bar goes from 100% back to 50%, the file once again appears to finish but the same thing happens but this time when re-importing the nzb file the progress bar will go to around 60%, this will continue again and again until eventually the file completes but it can take along time.

I have checked the log files and there are no errors and there is enough hard drive space free for the download.

Does anyone know what could be causing this, I don't mind paying for the full, new version if i knew this would sort the problem.

Thanks everyone

Noel

You say there are no errors in your log file, but it should tell you exactly which articles have been downloaded and which haven't (and why).  Make sure you set it to Detailed output.

If you're not sure how to read the log, post a sample of it here (filenames anonymized plz) so we can see what's going on.

Yes, there are many errors showing in your log.

1) Status Code: 0, this means that Astraweb is returning an unrecognised message.

2) Retry XX/YY: this happens when articles can't be found, although oddly there are no 'article not found' error messages, I guess this is connected with 1).

3) Could not connect (Astraweb) 502 Your per-user connection limit reached - this shouldn't really be happening, it means your machine isn't ending the connections properly.

These point to network errors either at your end (do you have a firewall monitoring NNTP traffic?) or Astra's.  You can confirm if it's Astra having trouble with that NZB either by trying another NZB, or trying the same NZB with another provider (or another client).  This should help to narrow down the problem a bit.

Hi,

This happens with more than just this file so I'm guessing the problem is at my end, the only firewall I'm running is the windows one, how would I check this to  see if it is affecting NNTP Traffic?
