Completion extension hangs on some file checks, causing all downloads to stall

[liv-mrr]

When the "Completion" extension is enabled, it fails to check certain files, causing the check to hang indefinitely. This, in turn, pauses not only the download being checked but all other downloads in nzbget.

Current behavior
The Completion extension, when enabled, cannot verify some files and hangs. This pauses the download it is checking and all other downloads in nzbget.

Expected behavior
The Completion extension should successfully check all files without causing any extra or indefinite pauses to the nzbget download process.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enable the Completion extension.
2. Add one of the problematic files.
3. Observe that all downloads are paused, and messages appear in the log (see attached screenshot).

Is this still active?

Yes, this is still an active issue that needs fixing.

In the meantime, do you suggest I disable the extension? I've been using it and haven't disabled it up until now, but I'm not sure how to proceed. many thanks, troy

No need to disable it if it works well for you. The bug only happens in rare cases. I'll fix it soon.

[trsmith78]

Ok. Thank you for responding so quickly!
