Is anybody else having troubles with SANZB fetching links from nzb.su?

It was working fine an hour ago and now nothing.

I'm guessing you hit the daily limit. From the web site:

You're allowed 10 nzb downloads per day and 80 API hits.
Good for: If you're not a heavy downloader and use Sickbeard by itself. Web use, or light downloading of nzb's occasionally.

In regards to SABNZBD - how do you figure out what the missing article is?

Quite frustrating after a 4gb download

Are the separate files in your INCOMPLETE folder? If so, can you see which file is missing, or too small compared to the rest of the splits?

I've been using my friends usenet account little over a year now, hes using astraweb and imo its an amazing service. I'm thinking of investing into the $96 per year special offer they have going on so I don't keep leeching off him.

Just to be clear in terms of "safety", is it apparently so that users/downloaders are not being targeted as oppossed to those who upload/post nzbs? I'm just a little paranoid of using usenet at my uni because they have an active anti-copyright policy and have pulled up and fined students in the past who have left their torrents running on the laptops using the uni's internet. If I were to use usenet downloading files I want should I be weary of facing similar retribution or am I relatively safe now due to the nature of usenet? (assuming I don't post/upload files)

Well, do you use SSL? If so, you are not in danger from big brother seeing what you are doing. If you do not use SSL, then they can easily see and it could raise flags.

That said, if you are making a severe dent in the internet connection they will likely take interest in you. The school could merely lookup and block the IP addresses that the traffic is coming from, it would not take much effort to figure out that they belong to a usenet provider. It is a possibility but it is not exactly likely, unless you are maxing out a gigabit ethernet port or something.

The truth is just an excuse for a lack of imagination.
Suppose you download the .nzb file in the open (i.e. not through https), and then you download the contents of the nzb from your usenet provider, using SSL. Would it be possible for them to catch you that way? Presumably, they see you download a .nzb file for a 1.8GB video, and then see your computer making an encrypted connection to a usenet server, downloading 1.8GB worth of encrypted data.

That's pretty poo poo circumstantial evidence, and way more effort than any ISP would put forth. Your ISP would have to be tracking all things downloaded through all indexers, analyze the nzb itself for the size of the payload, and be ready to do some math based around transfer from your usenet host, which would end up fuzzy because SABnzbd doesn't download 100% of the data supplied by an NZB.

So, like, you might download a 1.8Gb NZB from an indexer in the clear. But that gets added to your Queue that's already 23Gb. And of that 23Gb SABnzbd only actually moves 20GB due to all the parity stuff it already has. At what point did you download the 1.8Gb they "saw"?

It's more likely that -- if anything -- the kind of "retribution" you'll face regarding Usenet is "hey you downloaded like, just a complete assload of stuff all at once and brought our network to its knees, quit that". And maybe they'll throw in a threat of "and we saw it was all going to a usenet server, we can't prove what you were downloading, but seriously quit that".

Yeah, Comcast called me last year and just said "you are downloading a lot, and if you continue to do so during peak hours then you might be banned for a year. That was with the caveat that after 6 months the threat goes away and then will just call with a warning again. The guy didn't even mention anything about what I was doing and was generally really cool about it.

ISPs can not legally monitor or view what you are downloading anyways, so it would not hold up in court, so the paranoia over ssl or no ssl is a little unfounded. If you have to use it because of throttling so be it but i dont think it is worth it beyond that. Usenet veterans got along without SSL for years without problems.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for an Android app that will let me add nzb links from, say, NZBMatrix directly to my home PC running sabnzbd? Not many of the ones on the Market are free and I'd rather keep my sabnzbd/NZBMatrix API keys secure instead of trying half a dozen free apps.

I'm not sure if there's an easier trick right now than having the sabnzbd black hole folder be a dropbox folder, and when downloading your nzbs, just put the download in that folder. The obvious advantage to this is it working from anywhere, not just your phone.

Note that while they CAN do this, they don't go out and actively police what's being downloaded. Under current law, any actual litigation would have to be initiated by a rights holder. With torrents it's easy for a rights holder to roll on into a torrent with several thousand peers and send out blanket requests to all the ISP's they find to initiate the process. With Usenet there's no way for a third party to see what you're doing, so there's no one available to bitch at your ISP.

Still a good idea to use SSL, though.

So I have Sabnzbd 6.9.0 running on my Windows Home Server as a service.
My problem is that as soon as a download goes into verifying/repairing/unpacking it brings the whole system to a standstill until it is done. It is a hassle because I use the server for streaming videos and music.
Is it possible to set the amount of processing threads for the various process involved, or in other ways limit it?

That isnt to say that deep in the network at some ISP some techy nerds arent looking at everything you do without the ISP as a company knowing, but they can not say we saw you looking at CP last night we are sending the cops after you.

More importantly, they actually have an active incentive not to inspect your traffic.

DMCA safe harbor and other provisions for an ISP hinge on the fact that they are little more than a 'dumb pipe.' When they start moving to content inspection for one type of content, they become liable for all content. This is why Comcast cable doesn't inspect your downloads for NBC/Universal content. Because once they have actual knowledge of what the content is, they become just as responsible as the user. This is why torrents are so easy to check, they don't have to inspect the pipe, they go to the source and pool the swarm for the 10,000 IP's that are on the Hurt Locker or whatever. From there, it's robosubpoena time.

What's the legality of live datastream modification? Mediacom/ATT has replaced existing site ads with their own, tried to MITM, and other fun things like loading their own javascript on each non-https page (see perftech). They also intercepted all 404 statuses (from any valid site - like somethingawful.com/asfjiaofjq would result in
http://assist.mediacomcable.com being loaded), using anything non encrypted (wget, etc, using other dns servers)

And literally every single 'big boy' US ISP does dns hijacking and returning false records.

Incorrect. Active monitoring and other forms of proactive responses do not remove safe harbors despite lawsuits to the contrary.

Running into some problems that I hope you all can help. I have Sickbeard, SABnzbd and CouchPotato on my Windows box. Two issues have recent cropped up.

1. SickBeard doesn't seem to want to download anything. Shows just pile up as missed, but if I got and manually kick off the search (by clicking next to a particular episode) it seems to find it just fine.

2. Just upgraded to 50 MBits from Time Warner, but my download from Supernews seems to never get higher than 1.6/1.7 MBytes. I don't expect to get the full 6.25, but speedtest shows me running at 50. Should I get a different news provider? If so, which one?


Lastly - To those having issues with CouchPotato. In the settings, it defaults to not downloading anything over 300 days. If you have a longer retention, up it in the settings and it should start finding things.

Understood. However, speedtest wise, I'm hitting 50 and I would expect to see some fluctuation if it was congestion related, but I'm seeing a pretty steady 1.6 / 1.7 which is what I had before I upgraded the speed.

Do other kinds of downloads or FTP hit closer to 6.25MB/s? If so, you may be being throttled by your provider or might be throttling yourself with QoS on your router.

If it's anything like Charter's boost or whatever you call it, you only get the boosted speed for a few megabytes or something.

The $99 wideband package with TW is 50/5...the 30/5 package is called RR Extreme and it is $10 more a month than turbo, which is $10 more a month than standard. I believe those are the only standardized speed tiers across the TW footprints.
