Downloads restart back to 0% when reaching 100% instead of Demuxing/Converting.
I have tried searching for a resolve to this issue via google search & the forums. I'm unsure if this problem has happened previously on the first jDownloader but worded differently. I do apologise if this has been posted before, I would appreciate being pointed to where, so I can resolve this. Anyway.
- When searching for a fix, I did also learn to enable java & javaw through the firewall and such. Which didn't resolve anything. Not too sure what it achieved, but I guess it was important to do for jDownloader.
I have tried fiddling around with certain things to try and resolve this though I don't seem to get a permanent fix, at least that doesn't require my intervention to complete the download. Specifically running just 1 download a time, 1 chunk a time. Through to 8 Downloads a time running a max of 16 chunks per Dl. And various ranges in between. I have the Youtube plugin set up to pull only Audio at anything 128kbit or less. Most files tend to be M4A 128kbits.
When downloading, the package/file will sit at about 70kb/s - 110kb/s (Average) and when it reaches about 98% - 100% the download will go to run the Demuxer. Instead it restarts the download from 0%, Filesize: 0 Bytes.
I only download audio from Youtube, most of the time I don't get this issue, other packages will run at the full speed or an equally spreaded download average depending on how many downloads I run. it's rather random, I can't seem to find a pattern to what triggers it. I did at first notice it only with smaller files roughly 8MB in size or under. Not all small files but some.
Then I noticed it when downloading certain videos from this users channel -
( **External links are only visible to Support Staff****External links are only visible to Support Staff** - For a link reference. ) which were roughly 80MB - 150MB in size. Again not all packages had this issue. The only thing I did notice is more often than not it would be the mixes that are the older years that seemed to get this issue. Whether that's actually relevant or not I don't know. I did ponder if maybe it's to do with Youtube's servers, with the older files that have been uploaded.
There is a work around that I have but it's a little tedious, but none the less it works. Is when the download reaches 97% - 99% is R-Click & disable the download, then re-enable it*, causing it to carry on where it left, with a download speed spike of about 1.8MB/s. (My max download speed is 2.27MB/s roughly) which then causes the download the finish and then the Demuxer runs and the file is finished/completed.
*Another observation is, at random too, some files that I disable will suddenly jump back 6% - 10%/Current downloaded filesize correlates with that jump backwards also (For example: Disabled at 98%, suddenly skips back to 92.4%). But again not all files/packages do this. Many will stay at the % the package got disabled at or close enough.
The other work around, regarding the low download speed which half fixes this completely is, when I set my max chunks to 14 - 16, the package/file will run at my full download speed, rather than the 90kb/s average. 16 Chunks and a max of 4 download connections seems to work best with these packages that have the issue. I tend to have them sit at about 400kb/s - 700kb/s evenly-ish. Where-as my general download settings would be 2 chunks & 1 - 9 max download connections. Depending on the sort of file sizes the batch will consist of. Doing the math, for small files, 250kb/s per download on average works rather nicely chewing through them.
I'm not too sure whether there's a resolution to the download auto resetting when it goes to run the demux. I thought it would be worth describing it to the forums to see if anyone knows about this issue also?
- I mean it's not really preventing anything, though it'd be nice to know if I could even be able to set a script/command that if the download restarts more than 2 times, to 'skip download' so then when my download batch is done, I can clean the finished links and focus on the troublesome ones. The only niggle really is that must waste a lot of data in downloads, As they will continue resetting at 100% endlessly. Again, sometimes they will randomly decide to Demux at 100% and finish after X many retry's(Without intervention).
At the same time I also thought it'd be useful for anyone with this issue looking for small fixes, to have some. Thanks in advance for your attention.
