Complete but Incomplete
« on: September 19, 2007, 07:58:12 pm »
Hi everyone ...

I just downloaded about a gig of data and it all seems to have downloaded ok, but it hasn't been written to disk as the output files.  Right now it is all in the AltBinz/temp directory under various randomly named directories stored in individual usenet parts from what I can tell.  Is there any reason that would cause altbinz not to fully decode these.  I tried just restarting and redownloading, but it just tries to download the file again ... I don't want to waste the bandwidth.  

Is there any way I can force a decode or manually figure out which random directory corresponds to which download file and decode?

Let me know if you have any ideas or if I can provide any more info.

Thanks in advance!

The previously stated problem occurred immediately after upgrading to the 0.24.2 version of AltBinZ.  The files were part of the download queue from the previous version (0.24.0 I beleive) which had been automatically carried over.  I'm not sure if that is relevant or not.  

The log file indicated the normal:
   [time] [T1] Article started 1/1 FileName
   [time] [T1] Article finished 1/1 FileName
However, upon the decode it gave the error:
   [time] [Dec] No files found
   [time] [Dec] Subject: Post_Subject_Name "FileName" yEnc

After closing AltBinZ, or after a successful "download queue autosaved" from the log, the files in the download queue could be downloaded again with no problem.  They were not cleared from the queue after the initial unsuccessful attempt, nor did the download bar indicate anything but 0%.

As I mentioned before, I did not want to waste the bandwidth redownloading everything.  It was all there in the AltBinZ temp directory.  I was successful in the tediously manual process of decoding the individual parts with the utility from the yEnc website.

0.24.2 was long time ago. Those issues are already resolved. Latest version is 0.24.10
