Bug Description

In case when login data are wrong or newsserver is down, no error message is shown. So it is not clear if a download doesn't start.

We'll implement better HellaNZB error handling with 0.4.

We're focussing on 0.3 first.

At this point of time, LottaNZB doesn't parse HellaNZB log messages, It just displays them in the newly added message log window. This bug is known to me but I was just too lazy to file a bug report. This is a feature we absolutely need in future versions of LottaNZB, I agree!

We're currently in an inofficial feature and string freeze regarding 0.3 (we don't want to delay it even further ;-)), but I suggest to give this issue a top priority for 0.4. We should actually create a blueprint to collect ideas on how to implement this feature.

I guess we'll have to postpone this another time. Sorry for that. HellaNZB doesn't let us know about such problems at all, so we'll have to check the login credentials without HellaNZB's help. This would basically not be that hard to implement, but we're already in some kind of a feature and string freeze (the same excuse like half a year ago ^^). LottaNZB 0.4 is to be released soon.

As mentioned in post #4, we would need to implement this without the help of HellaNZB, which doesn't seem right, as LottaNZB only aims to be a frontend. This means that this bug won't be fixed in LottaNZB 0.5 either, which is probably the last release of LottaNZB which is based on HellaNZB. SABnzbd fortunately provides much more information about connection problems than HellaNZB. Refer to http://www.lottanzb.org/2009/06/thoughts-about-the-future-of-lottanzb/ for more information.
