Re: [Pan-users] Command line use; download of nzb files does not stop

[Graham Lawrence]

Dang, this is a fine group, where I've been introduced to newsgroups
and the intricacies of downloading from nzbs, what I guess should be
called implicit compound conditionals in Bash, several new linux
commands, and how to use email.  And my Pan download completed using

pan --no-gui -o /home/g/Films --nzb "${nzb[1]}" 2>/home/g/pan.debug

Turns out the problem was my quoting the quotes with \.

Yet it still made copies of some files, but only a few instead of
seemingly every single one, as before.  Which suggests that there may
be a legitimate reason why Pan does this, and that I simply got
spooked because it was doing it so much.  Is there a valid reason or
is this truly anomalous behavior on its part?
