Thanks for the bug report.

That’s actually a know issue and a fix has already been made. Will try to release a new version as soon as possible.

I like the new version; pause is something I’ve always wanted.

I did get an error, though:

QSslSocket::waitForDisconnected() is not allowed in UnconnectedState

I got many of these; not sure what events they might be related to.

The app hung at 100%; blank window, 100% in titlebar, no response to close button. I did Ctl-C from the command line (where I started the app) and that was able to kill it.

Opened an nzb file and downloaded all the par files, but cannot find where on my local drive these have been downloaded to. Pls advise default location. Also when creating a download folder using ‘Tools|Options’ it appears with a lock icon next to the directory name. Also, in windows explorer the directory is not visible at all. Pls explain.

Thanks

A bit unstable, it does work though, I really appreciate you guys working on this! I am using it on Kubuntu 11.10. Keep the good work!!!

What a piece of garbage. Don’t use this. If you accidentally click the play button instead of start, it downloads the entire video into memory and doesn’t save anything anywhere. If VLC doesn’t like it, your hooped. Have to re-download all over again.

I’ve also experienced those (minor though, compared to other nzb-capable grabbers) troubles with nzb, and I second xempt in his wish to have downloaded parts cached on the disk to prevent one from re-fetching articles after a hang.

I’d also be very happy if nzb was able to re-connect timed out or broken connections, both after a failure in the nntp host or after a forced dialup reconnect, because those make the program abort its download on my system (XP pc behind dsl router).

Otherwise, thanks for a nice piece of software

It doesn’t save downloaded parts on disk, however, after decoding the part it writes to disk and removes the stored part from memory. Usually when downloading it shouldn’t use more than a few megs for downloaded data.

If you are streaming a file it stores the decoded data in memory until the application reading the stream has read that data, which in certain cases can cause quite high memory usage.

Are you streaming or downloading, and what OS are you running?

I noticed that the app appears to decode everything into memory without writing temporary files to the HDD. In return, this ends up with the program using a pretty big memory footprint while it’s downloading and decoding data. Any chance for the next release you could make it cache data to the download folder? I know that the OS will page out memory to disk, but right now nzb.exe is using 720mb of RAM, and that’s affecting the speed other programs on my machine run at.
