I am not sure if this was asked before but I couldn’t findanything on it.
I just wanted to know this. If ND grabs an episode and then it fails in Sab for some reason or the other, will ND try and re-download it again? I ask because I have not seen ND try to re-download any of my failed downloads which has been happening recently on 4 out of 5 grabbed episodes, which a whole other issue that I am inquiring about over at the Sabnzb forums.
No, not yet. https://trello.com/c/BDf7Ubow/228-better-sab-integration
Failures are usually related to missing articles, having a backup account in SAB helps a lot with that, especially for old releases.
No, these are brand new releases such as Mount Pleasant, Upper Middle Bogan, Big Bad World etc. This only started a few days ago and when I go back to download it immediately after they fail, then it works fine each and every one of them.
How many votes are required for this issue to be escalated to high priority?
This problem is driving me mental. I just sent my provider an email regarding the issue but 5 failed downloads and still counting. I have ND set to 30 mins. now but not even that helps.
There isn’t a set number, we do things as we can, but some features, like this rely on a number of changes which are being worked on, but not done.
Sync time is really only good for making less requests to the indexer, its still possible that things are posted, picked up by the indexer and then found in drone with in a few minutes.
Failed downloads isn’t really going to help because its going to require a different release to come out since there is zero point in retrying the same release. You issue sounds like a poor provider, not takedowns/old releases.
I think you’re right. The provider sucks and they told me they can’t assist me because of the DMCA issues. Anyway, thanks for your response.
Doubt its DMCA related, but something to due with them being behind (slow to get articles from other servers), I’ve heard supernews has had similar issues before, I personally have been happy with Astraweb and Blocknews as a backup account. If you go for Astraweb use the link above as its NzbDrone’s affiliate link with them.
ok, I probably will have to do that.
Thanks
