Anybody run into this using the built in RSS processing and nzb.su? Other rss feeds work fine.

If you have a backup server SABnzbd will only use it if an article fails to download on one of your primary servers.

So it will automatically just grab the broken bits from the secondary/backup server? That's pretty cool.

That's really weird since they're the same servers. I wonder if your route to supernews or their connection went flakey during that time.

Are they still a GN reseller? I noticed in the upgrade email there was a line about them owning their own servers.

Not sure what is going on, but nzbs.org at least has a tab before the first line in all of their nzb files so sabnzbd will not recognize it and instead will throw this error: (reason=XML or text declaration not at start of entity, line=1). If you go in and manually remove the space, it will download fine.

Has to be Backup server. For non-backup servers, SABnzbd just sends stuff to the pool of active non-backup servers with an even distribution. If you have, for instance:

1) Giganews (not backup)
2) Astraweb (not backup)
3) Blocknews (backup)

Posts will be evenly distributed between Giganews / Astraweb. If one fails on Astraweb, it will NOT be tried on Giganews. It will go to Blocknews and if it fails there it will just fail outright.

Supernews isn't a GN reseller, they're a GN sub-brand. So the "they" talking is the parent company of both Giganews and Supernews. So yes, technically "they" own their own servers.

Well poo poo, all this time and I never knew that. I guess I'll have to buy a few gigs from BlockNews.

I just noticed that same issue on nzbs.org with nzbstatus. I can't click-to-send anything to SAB, and it won't pull the RSS feed either. On nzb.su, at least, I can download the nzb directly, and SAB catches it and downloads it fine. I haven't updated any software on my machine, did something change in the last few days with nzbs.org?

Seems to be working fine for me. Make sure all your data in nzbstatus is right. There was an update a few weeks ago that wiped out the API key, but I'm sure you would have noticed that by now.

So on a whim today I decided to setup nzb.su (previously was only using newzbin and nzbmatrix) and Sick Beard almost immediately found all this obscure stuff I had added when I first set it up then basically wrote off as "Yeah, this will never download." What reason is there that nzb.su would work so much better than the others? I mean don't all of the nzb services work basically the same behind the scenes?

So yeah, if you haven't yet, set up nzb.su. I was so pleased with their indexing that I tossed 'em $20.

Oh also since SuperNews upped their retention so much I decided gently caress paying extra for Giganews and cancelled within 24 hours of signing up. (I felt like kind of a jerk doing this.) Since I have the rest of the month with Giganews anyway I decided to set it up as a backup server just for the sake of curiosity. Also, I threw blocknews a couple bucks as part of this experiment.

Today's transfer:

news-europe.giganews.com (backup): 3 M
news.eu.supernews.com (backup): 0
news.giganews.com (backup): 774 K
news.supernews.com (primary): 54.4 G
usnews.blocknews.net (backup): 3 M

How does sabnzbd decide to download what from where of your backup servers? The order above is the order that they appear in the server config portion of sabnzbd. I kind of figured it would just try news-europe.giganews.com since it's the first backup server listed, but I'm totally puzzled as to why it seems to be using 3 of the 4 backup servers, each for a tiny amount of data... Even more confusing is the seemingly different use of both giganews US -and- Europe since you'd think that both servers would have the same content? I mean nothing I'm downloading is particularly new or old, so you'd think every server would have it.

That's pretty funny considering I went and checked out nzbmatrix (I've only ever used nzb.su, I wish I could get an account at nzbds.org) and managed to find some obscure things I've been trying to find for months to no avail.

NZBMatrix relies on user submissions like Newzbin, this means it'll get stuff the automated scrapers won't because it's named ASLSJAGLKASGH.ARJ and it's actually whatever it is you're looking for.

Can anyone remind me how to have SAB sort downloads by apps/movies/TV/etc? The folders are there and I just reinstalled SAB but I can't seem to find the sorting method. I'm able to see where it does TV sorting but I'm thinking more lower level stuff, as in just the apps/movies/anime/misc/books/whatever else section. I even tried NZB Status but it shows an asterisk next to each of them.

The categories section? Just hit categories and you can create your own there, define the folders where they go and whatnot. If you mean by keywords from nzb providers then you do need nzbdstatus for that.

They were in 0.5.6, but when I upgraded to 0.6, they weren't there any more. It's not that hard to re-create them, and then you can make them work with your favorite NZB provider.

Interestingly enough, I was looking for some stuff on nzbs.org and decided to check out one of the sites it suggests when it can't find something, MysterBin. Not only did I find what I was looking for (and with less missing PAR blocks than the equivalent nzb from nzbs.org, strangely), they actually have a feature I haven't seen on any other indexer: it actually searches inside RARs and poo poo instead of just matching on post titles. This cuts down on spam hits considerably (tell it to filter out *.exe) and also incorrectly labeled/purposely mislabled things. I'd definitely give it a shot if you're having trouble finding something.

Newznab has to have someone add poo poo to whatever it already has indexed, right?

no the image previews are totally automated, it just grabs a little bit of the first rar and uses ffmpeg or something to pull the deal

newznab also does password checking, so anything on there from the past 6 months or so should not be passworded

I want to install SABnzbd 0.6.5 on my FreeNAS (version .69) box but I have no idea of how to. I found a tutorial on installing SABnzbd 0.4.3 and followed it but I can't get sabnzbd to configure the blocknews server. Does anybody know how to install SABnzbd 0.6.5 on FreeNAS? I have the python source for 0.6.5 from the website but FreeNAS won't let me pkg_add it. I think I need a .tbz of whatever is in the .tar of the python source. I'm also new to FreeBSD so I could totally not be making any sense.

I think I already explained this in the Android App thread, but all you have to do is forward port 8080 (or whatever port is listed on the general settings page in SAB) in your router and give SAB a username and password on that same page. Then you should still be able to connect locally with localhost, and connect externally with your external ip address (https://www.whatismyip.com). You'd set up Sab Sheep with your ip/post (ex. 123.456.789.100:8080) and your API key from the general settings page.

edit: on the general settings page, I have Host set to 0.0.0.0. I don't know if that is important to this process or not.

Some routers also allow you to do DNS redirections on the LAN side. dd-wrt, for example, resolves my external address (whatever.serveftp.net) to it's internal address (192.168.1.5) when I'm connected to my LAN. Outside of the network it resolves to the external IP. This lets me run things like myNZB on my iPhone and it'll work no matter where I am (it also works with bookmarks for stuff like CouchPotato and Sickbeard).

It might be worth looking into if your router supports it (for dd-wrt I had to enable "dnsmasq" and configure an additional option like "address=/whatever.serveftp.net/192.168.1.5"). I know m0n0wall and pfSense has this feature as well.

Is there something I can do to get less "Repair failed, not enough repair blocks (1785 short) " type of downloads?

I've been using private trackers for a long time and I signed up for supernews today and half the time I either get rars with spam or this error. Is it always a hit or miss or can I do something to filter things out?

Bringing this question back from page 5. I've found having the option "Ignore Samples" set to "Don't Download" has led to a lot of repair errors. I instead have it set to "Delete After Download" now and don't have any problems.

Also, I've been shopping for a NAS recently and I'm just curious what processing times are like for SAB and SB. I know the processors in those off-the-shelf NASes aren't great. Are we talking 5-10 minutes to unrar a 1.4GB file?

Yes. This is what I do.

I have an dynamic dns with dyndns.org and all my devices whether they are on my home network or away just use "whatupholmes.dyndns-host.com:8080".

I believe this feature is generally called NAT Loopback.

There's no reason not to always have the mobile app send to your external IP. Sab Sheep doesn't seem to have a user selectable refresh rate so using internal IP wouldn't really speed anything up.
