Download queue keeps getting longer
« on: August 27, 2008, 11:22:23 am »
I installed v 0.25.0 yesterday, following a friend's reccomendation. Everything seems fine, except for one bizzarre problem with the download queue I saw yesterday and investigated this morning.

I put an nzb file into \altbinz\nzb to pick up 40 mp3s (about 160MB). After a while, it was added to the download queue, I clicked on Connect and away it went. I then added a second one for 24 mp3s (about 60MB) to \altbinz\nzb and after a short while, the first one was added to the queue but with an 'x' tagged onto the end, e.g. 'FirstFile x' and then 'SecondFile'. A little later, 'FirstFile xx' and 'SecondFile x' were added, another wait then 'FirstFile xxx' and 'SecondFile xx' were added and so on.

I can stop it happening by removing them from \altbinz\nzb but I would like it to work the way intended :)

I'm running Windows XP SP2, with 4GB of RAM loads of disc space

Make sure that altbinz\nzb (i.e. your default NZB folder) is *not* also set as your autoimport folder, otherwise you get what you're seeing: an infinite import loop.

So, make another folder for autoimport somewhere convenient.  Anything put in there will be autoimported to the queue, then moved to your default NZB folder.

See Setup > NZB to change these settings.

what happens is this:

- NZB will be auto imported from your autoimport NZB folder
- Alt.Binz will save all imported NZBs to your default NZB folder
- because both folders are the same, it will import that NZB again and again...

NOTE: Temp folder, autoimport folder, NZB folder and Download folder should be different!

Thanks guys - it's obvious when you think about it. Which I didn't :(
