\n## Trap NZB Warning (2026-04-08)\n\nSome releases have valid metadata but no actual content. Signs:\n- NZB looks correct (744KB+, proper XML structure)\n- SABnzbd shows "Completed" but 0 bytes downloaded\n- Release name matches but articles are empty/missing\n\n**Workaround:** Check multiple release groups before downloading. Favor releases with:\n- Multiple groups (iVs, YTS, etc.)\n- Age < 500 days (newer = less likely DMCA)\n- Comments/feedback on NZBGeek\n

\n## Download Verification Step (2026-04-08)\n\n**Always verify downloads complete:**\n\n1. **Check SABnzbd queue API** after NZB pickup\n - Endpoint: `http://192.168.0.32:8282/api?apikey=40bf61729f1c4701ac55cf36cfb5171a&mode=queue&output=json`\n - Look for: `status: Downloading` and real `sizeleft` value\n\n2. **Schedule completion check** (~40 min for 8GB at 3MB/s)\n - Use cron to trigger agent check\n - Verify history shows `status: Completed`\n\n3. **Trap NZB indicators:**\n - NZB downloaded but SABnzbd shows 0 bytes progress\n - History shows Completed with `downloaded: 0`\n - Same filename appears in queue but never progresses\n
