Workaround for hellanzb session idle

If your hellanzb session is idle and you have confirmed your news account is fine. Then you may be having an issue with the nzb file itself. You can confirm this by enabling the hellanzb debug log.

An example of what you would see is the following:

Parsed: 22 files (543 posts), 192.7MB

Queued: 192.7MB

[1]

[2]

[3]

[4]

[5]

[6]

[7]

[8]

[Total] 0.0KB/s, 192 MB queued, ETA: 00:00:00

As a short & quick workaround, do this:

in NZBParser.py change


        elif name == 'group':

            newsgroup = self.parseUnicode(''.join(self.chars))

            self.file.groups.append(newsgroup)

with

        elif name == 'group':

            newsgroup = self.parseUnicode(''.join(self.chars)).strip()

            self.file.groups.append(newsgroup)
