The install was all of two commands, so that was pretty simple, but I was wondering if there was any way I could migrate my configuration from my Windows install to the new Linux install. SABnzbd+ stores its configuration in sabnzbd.ini. Go to the "config" page of SABnzbd+ and look for where it says the config file is located.

Anybody using SABnzbd (and/or SickBeard) storing files over NFS (on ZFS system)? I'm having a bit of trouble with ACLs/permissions...
|
# ? Jun 28, 2011 11:46 |
|
I am using NFS on top of BTRFS sharing across a few Linux VMs, no additional ACL configuration being done from SABnzbd, too. Running Ubuntu 11.04 across the two. Only gotcha for me was the underlying permissions on BTFS. In your case, ZFS. Are you using Solaris, OpenFiler, FreeNAS, or what?

I had a weird issue the other day downloading something. The download failed, saying there weren't enough blocks to repair. I don't really know why, but I decided to try re-downloading it (same exact NZB), and on the second attempt it downloaded fine. The only difference was that I didn't apply a custom category to it this time. The category thing wouldn't have made a difference, would it? I can't see that it would... would this just be a case of Astraweb being lovely again? And along those lines, is there any way to make SABnzbd re-download just the PARs or something?

When the download fails, hit the Retry button next to all the little icons for that file in your finished queue. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Sometimes it doesn't show up for whatever reason, even if the thing failed. I'm downloading something now that failed the first time (Missing 1 block in a 10gb file) and now on the retry it seems to be going through. If it fails again, I'll screencap it for you.

I've had that same issue with Astraweb this week with some stuff downloading and missing so many blocks that even with PAR's I couldn't repair. I just finished my download block last night so I grabbed a 200GB block from blocknews to try out for now.

I don't think anyone uses Newzbin anymore but this might be of interest to UK users: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13927335 They're trying to get one of the largest ISPs in the UK to block access to Newzbin.

I guess I don't fully understand all the politics behind Newzbin, but why is it that they're getting cracked down on so hard while all the other usenet indexing sites just keep on truckin'? What vital mistake did they make to make them legally vulnerable that the other sites (apparently) didn't do? Now that there are basically better indexes out there, it doesn't make much sense why legal types continue to focus on Newzbin.

Isn't Newzbin the NZP that basically advertised, "WE HAVE ILLEGAL CONTENT FOR FREE, COME DOWNLOAD IT!" and got their rear end handed to them because everyone in the court knew they were actively facilitating copyright infringement?

Kachunkachunk posted:I use Newshosting, personally. You could look at a premium provider that your programs promote as well, but I haven't really tried. Thing is, if one day they had 300 day retention and the next day they had 900 day retention, wouldn't it take 600 days for the 900 day retention to actually fully be in effect, seeing as they wouldn't have any files older than 300 days? The fact that they retain stuff is surely not binding in that they have to have had it in the first place.

Hi, I am just getting into usenet, but find it a pretty neat hobby so far. I got my SABnzbd, Sick Beard, Giganews, and NZBmatrix setup and linked properly. Today I cant access NZBmatrix.com. I checked out NZBmatrix.info, and it says the site up, and I can access it from my iphone (with wifi off only), so I think Comcast is up to no good. I tried using googleDNS, and openDNS to no avail, but I could access nzbMatrix using a proxy called hidemyass. I am pretty tech savvy, but don't know much about DNS or proxies... cause this America, not some Arab Spring country! Do I now need to go full VPN or something? Any suggestions?

NZBMatrix were undergoing some updates the other day, but that wouldn't be the cause of being unable to access the site. The internet likes to do that sometimes, just visit the site later and it should be up.

Kachunkachunk posted:I am using NFS on top of BTRFS sharing across a few Linux VMs, no additional ACL configuration being done from SABnzbd, too. The problem is that SABnzbd seems to perform a chmod (even if you leave the settings blank in the config) on the downloaded files. After the chmod the ZFS ACLs are removed and then I have problems accessing the files from Windows. I'm thinking about just using the CIFS/SMB shares instead of NFS to avoid the problem but I'd like to stick with NFS since it's more native to Unix/Linux and seems "better" for this situation.

Okay, cool. So from what I understand, SABnzbd is placing files on an NFS share (that is, Solaris runs your storage and SABnzbd is run from another box, correct?). Before you check your mountpoints and stuff, look at ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini and see if there's a permissions option/directive set. Then check /etc/default/sabnzbdplus and see if there's something in there. It should pretty much just have a port number and address... but it overrides what's in the configuration file in my experience. Anyway here's what I have, maybe it'll help. Changed usernames, folder names, etc. SABnzbd box: code:
StorageBox = Where files are moved from categorization, but it's also the actual mountpoint. So nothing special on the SABnzbd box. Looking at my storage box (192.168.0.200 in this example): code:
There's also some Samba crap going on in StorageBox, but that isn't being used between the Linux boxes. Kachunkachunk fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Jun 30, 2011 |

I'm a dual US/UK citizen and got annoyed some country restrictions when each respective country, and still go back and forth a lot so to me its worth it for the choice of US/UK VPN. If I didn't use it I probably would just go with the supernews account but if you think you'll use the VPN at all, its a really great service they offer.

Worth the $35 a month to me... I may be wrong about this, but doesn't an SSL connection to the server already provide this service? Your ISP can see you are connected to a news server but if they can also see what you're downloading then I'm not sure what the point of SSL is. Or are you using the VPN just for general internet use?

A few months ago I had considered upgrading my giganews account to get the vpn, but this was before they introduced the uk exit and all I had really wanted it for was a reliable way to watch iplayer. Now they do have a UK exit, but I've since switched to supernews, and I can't really justify paying three times as much for the same service. This really isn't the place, but does anyone have a quick suggestion for a uk vpn for around $10/month? A PM would be fine if you don't want to clutter up the thread.

I've noted my own issues on Newshosting, but I still haven't done the research into whether it was my problem or not. I think it's probably a good idea to start watching what groups you you specifically have had problems with and see if it's some underdog group that's not uh... synched properly or something. Disclaimer: <---- knows poo poo about how a newsgroup hosting provider works. Either way, look for patterns!

One of the more recent issues I'm having is deleting files after I've downloaded them. Nearly every time I do, I get a pop up about "Thumbs" files and can't continue - no matter how many times I click "Try Again". The file isn't open in any media player or file viewer (win explorer, etc). What's going on?
