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\nWorkaround: 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\nAlways verify downloads complete:\n\n1.

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
