Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

I've been using hellanzb to download from newsservers very succesfully for quite some time now, but it's been a week now that it stops downloading after pretty much every download. I've tried looking for a pattern when exactly it stops downloading, but I haven't been able to find one. So is anyone else experiencing this?

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

I had the same problem. If you have the smartpar option active in preferences, disable it. It should work.

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

I have the same problem. Might have something to do with the python upgrades.

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

Sorry for the late reply, was away for a while unexpectedly. I will try the smartpar suggestion right away. This problem is very annoying, the whole idea of this server is so it operates standalone as much as possible.

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

Yes, this seems to have fixed it! Thank you very much. How did you find this out? Because this isn't something I would have come up with myself.

Yeah, hellanzb is more addictive than cocaine.

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

Hi!

I seems to be having the same problem, but setting "# Disable SMART_PAR (download all PAR files) Hellanzb.SMART_PAR = False" doesn't seems to fix the problem.
Should it be set to "True" to be turned off? I'm also really addicted to Hella just downloading while I'm away so these random stops are annoying me extremely much.

I have downloaded the latest version with the patch for whitespaces...

Edit: Am I supposed to use quotes when setting it to false? Like 'False'? Maybe that's the problem.

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

Hellanzb.SMART_PAR = False

That's what it says in my config file, and that's what fixed my problem. And if you set this setting, does Hellanzb actually download ALL par2 files?

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

Hellanzb.SMART_PAR = False

This is what I've been using too, but it hasn't helped with the problem. :(

I've changed it to Hellanzb.SMART_PAR = 'False' so hopefully that will fix it (though I really don't think it will).
I don't know if Hella downloads all the par2 files or not. When the download stops the queued file is NOT removed so when I restart Hella the file gets downloaded a second time if
I don't remove it from the queue. Very irritating.

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

You can usually tell from the log or the application itself if it's downloading all the par2 files. When using the smart par option it usually says something about skipping a certain number of par2 files. And the syntax for True and False is without the quotes, so best to change it back.

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

I checked the log and it's skipping pars so I guess Hellanzb.SMART_PAR = False is initiated (I removed the quotes). Seems the problem might be similar (or exactly the same) as this one:

http://www.hellanzb.com/trac/hellanzb/t … #comment:6

so I'll try to manaully fix it with

I encountered the same thing, the problem here is extra space in the group

2008-05-02 10:57:45,779 easynews[3] got GROUP: alt.binaries.tv 2008-05-02 10:57:45,784 easynews[3] getting GROUP: alt.binaries.tv

these are actually: (notice the '|' I added for debugging purpose.)

2008-05-02 10:57:45,779 easynews[3] got GROUP: |alt.binaries.tv| 2008-05-02 10:57:45,784 easynews[3] getting GROUP: | alt.binaries.tv|

I did a quick hack to get around this issue:

vi Hellanzb/NZBLeecher/Protocol.py, search for 'getting GROUP', and strip the space in group before that:

    if not self.factory.skipGroupCmd:

        # Change group for group in self.currentSegment.nzbFile.groups:

+ group = group.strip()

    # NOTE: we could get away with activating only one of the groups instead # of all if group not in self.activeGroups and group not in self.failedGroups:

        debug(str(self) + ' getting GROUP: |' + group + '|') self.fetchGroup(group) return

This is by no means a proper fix, but should get you around this stuck issue. Hope this helps..

Yifang

I really hope this will fix the problem.
Thanks for helping me out HyperBaton!

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

Well if it's skipping par2 files, then it's not respecting the option you have set by setting it to False. It should download ALL par2 files and then just use them in case of a repair. Stupid question maybe, but you are editing the correct hellanzb.conf and restarting the daemon after editing?

The startup script uses the config settings specified in /etc/conf.d/hellanzb.

And concerning that bug report patch, let us know if that fixes it.

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

Probably skipped the files because of the quotes then and I didn't restart Hella (after removing them) before the download finished. I've restarted it now and I'm checking to see if it will listen to Hellanzb.SMART_PAR = False this time.
Have to download some movies to check it out. Just downloaded some music and it worked fine.

I've only got the ~/.config/hellanzb.conf file so it has to be the right file.

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

Hmm... I've tried to manually add the code to '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Hellanzb/NZBLeecher/Protocol.py', but that seemed to break it and it wouldn't start. I also
set 'Hellanzb.SMART_PAR = False' but it didn't seem to change anything. I tried to reinstall hella, but the downloading still stops when the downloaded nzb is supposed to be processed.

It seems neither the unrar prosessing or the downloading of the next nzb starts. In other words the nzb will be 100 % downloaded, but the nzb before it will still be
present in the daemon.processing folder. The current nzb doesn't get removed from the deamon.current folder either. Hellanzb acts as if there's nothing to download.
Since the nzb processing starts when I restart hella it can't be the unraring that doesn't work. Before I formated and reinstalled arch a couple of months ago hella worked just perfectly.
What has changed? :(

Here's my hellanzb.conf and hellanzb.log. Maybe someone sees something irregular...

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

Pfff, it sure sounds like the exact same problem I had. Strange that the smart par fix did not work for you. I'm out of ideas I think

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

Yeah, it's probably the same issue. I've seen other people getting it fixed with your sollution so I'm really not sure why it doesn't work for me.

Anyways, today I've downloaded a couple of movies and it seems to be working right now. I noticed yesterday that at least one of my downloads in the processing folder only had root permissions. So I made sure every folder and file in my home partition has full user permissions. Maybe this will fix it. Thanks again for the help HyperBaton!

Edit: And then it failed again... This is driving me crazy!

Edit 2: Well, I completely removed hellanzb and all dependencies and then reinstalled. It seems to be working at the moment. Hopefully the problem was with the actual whitespace patch not being correctly added when reinstalling over the old install through yaourt. Hopefully...

just to be sure, do you have enough space in the folder you're downloading to? i only have strange problems with hella when i don't have hdd space. and recently i have other problem, but not really serious: if the nzb it is downloading can't be repaired/extracted it just hangs and stops downloading. in this case i verify manually and delete the download.

I've got plenty of space so that can't be it. But your recent problem seems alot like mine. The download hangs, I delete it, restart hella and the next download continues. This isn't too big of a problem, but it's really annoying when I leave my computer on through the night for downloading only to see that downloading stopped after the first file and my queue is still full.

ok, if that's it we have the same problem then

does anyone knows if the devs are working on the app? with so many bugs i find it strange that there isn't new versions coming.

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

I hope they are. HellaNZB is amazing when it's working, but if download isn't working 4 out of 10 times is kinda a big deal.
I wish I had the knowledge to fix it myself though...

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

I don't think that log file is using the config file you posted. The first line says 'Skipping pars' so the smart par setting is turned on (i.e. set to True). Make sure it really is loading up the config.

Development on hellanzb seems to have stopped around a year and half ago.

If you can't get it working, you might want to try sabnzb which is also in the aur.

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

community/nzbget was the only solution for me; hellanzb just stopped after each download without any notice

Re: Hellanzb stops downloading after every download

sabnzbd in AUR works good for me
