NZBGet doesn't support uuencode because uuencode is obsolete and inefficient (adds ~35% overhead). NZBGet supports yEnc, which is the modern standard with only 1-2% overhead. |

Does nzbget support downloading files that are uuencoded?
I have come across nzb's where all the files are downloaded successfully by nzbget and all have the right byte size, but they all appear to be truncated uuencoded files of the originals. I can tell this is the case because all files begin with a header line like the following:
begin 644 filename
Of course the uuencoded version is larger in size than the original, so to me it looks like nzbget does not recognize uuencoeded files at all and simply download each file with the truncated byte size. That means I can't even run uudecode manually on the downloaded files (well, I did try, and I got truncated versions of the original files).
Has anyone else come across this problem? Is there something I did not do correctly, or does nzbget not support nzb's of uuencoded files?
Edit: I should point out that the files on the server are not corrupted - I was able to get them using the easynews web interface, for example.
