NNTPGrab

Issue is stil present, and currently preventing any donwload.

One of the last messages I see from the server is:
Decoder info Decoding completed with return value 0
NNTPGrab Core info Decoder returned 0

I did renmame C:\Documents and Settings\Gebruiker\AppData\Local\NNTPGrab\download_queue.db to generate a new file.
But that didn't solve the issue.
After exit I also often see 'nntpgrab_server_qt.exe' still in the Processes list.
I'm planning to zip 'C:\Users\Gebruiker\Documents\NNTPGrab\Temp\' and delete to see if that solves it.

What version of NNTPGrab are you using? Recently a change was committed (r1956) which fixes an issue which might be related.
Could you also try to manually run C:\Program Files\NNTPGrab\nntpgrab_gui_debug.exe (without the NNTPGrab Server running) and attach the debug output which it produces to this bug report?

Hi Alguno,

I'm using 0.7.2 at the moment.

In the dosbox with the debug version I get a lot of "C:\Users\Gebruiker\Documents\NNTPGrab\Temp\x.y: No `=ybegin' or `begin' line found".
Is this due my earlier action, to removing the Temp directoy content?

Attached two files, one from the dosbox, and the debug window.

The message "No `=ybegin' or `begin' line found" indicates that a part was downloaded which doesn't contain any yEnc or UUEncode data. I would have to analyze these kind of files to determine what causes it. Possible causes are:

• The uploader didn't upload the article in question using yEnc or UUEncode
• The NZB file contains invalid message-id's (where message-id's point to regular text articles instead of yEnc/UUEncoded articles)
• Your usenet provider replaced the original articles with fake text messages due to notice-and-takedown actions

The logs you published look quite correct to me. In the file Console_logging_28-Feb-2013.txt I see that an attempt was done to decode the following files:

• 1305RVLAVCHD.part01.rar
• 1305RVLAVCHD.part04.rar
• 1305RVLAVCHD.part05.rar
• 1305RVLAVCHD.part07.rar
  All of these files were decoded successfully so I don't see any sign that decode actions remain stuck somewhere. The "No `=ybegin' or `begin' line found" you mentioned don't seem to be part of the logs

Will try again with a new NZB and only one server (newzilla6.xs4all) active.

First issue I run into is that deleting the old download queue item is only possilbe if I'm fast enough to 'Pause the schedular' e.g. before I get the
'Decoder info Decoding completed with return value 0
NNTPGrab Core info Decoder returned 0' messages.

After restart of the Sever (still used Server/client setup) first few messages are still from the deleted download. But than I found 3 instances of 'nntpgrab_server_qt.exe' in the processes list. Stopped them all and use C:\Program Files\Newsgroups\NNTPGrab\bin>nntpgrab_gui_debug.exe', and found the old donwload was still present in the download list, together with another download that I tried to add. This latest download seems to work normal, so let me try if it finish this download normal.

Regarding the "No `=ybegin' or `begin' line found" not showing up in the logs, the captures are from the same timeframe. I don't see timestamp data, so difficult to trace/prove. Could it be I wasn't fast enough with opening the 'Show debug window'?
Is there an uption to show this debug window at startup?

Will let you know when I see the issue again. For now I will use 'nntpgrab_gui_debug.exe' i.s.o. the server.
