newzbin downloads fail upon a colon in the name!

[guru1968]

if a newzbin article does contain a colon (':') in the name, HellaNZB won't download via HellaWorld! if this .nzb file is copied into HellaNZBs monitoring folder, the downloading works as usual...

there seems to be a bug in translating the ':' into a '_' : when the article is "Title: description (Year)" the .nzb usually is "Titledescription_(Year).nzb" - this is the case when it's put into the monitoring folder; via HellaWorld (either the button or the bookmarklet) it's only "<newzbin-ID>_Title" - the filename stops at the position of the ':' has no extension and is 0 bytes in size! (so it won't be downloaded by HellaNZB)

Replying to guru1968: well - didn't know that trac interprets two '_' as underline style... how can I just print two concatenated '_' '_' ??

the (normal) name is "Title_ _description_(Year).nzb" then! (without the ' ' between the two '_'s)

(can't someone edit my original description, please? this underlining is annoying...)

if you need an example, try downloading newzbin-ID 3087214 ...

Is this really an issue with Hellaworld? I understand if you download the NZB file from newzbin and then put it into the HellaNZB watch folder that it is working. Are the colons converted when you download from the site? (I don't have newzbin account)

If the colons are converted to underscores upon downloading then it makes sense that downloading from the site would work just fine.

I believe that in the HellaController.php all that is happening is the Newzbin ID is being evaluated to be sure that it is only digits, then it is handed to HellaNZB. I am not 100% but I think this means the issue is with HellaNZB not with hellaworld. have you tried this with something like Zussaweb or HellaHella??
