b0bx13 posted:Need some help troubleshooting DL speed issues. I figured it was fine before, but I've upgraded to a better connection now, so I want to take advantage. I'm with Time Warner on a pretty solid 20mbps connection. SAB only downloads at around 0.8-1.3 MB/s. This is with both Astraweb and Supernews. I've played with SSL, number of connections and ports, all with similar results. Is there anything else I can do? What router do you have? I was getting those kinds of speeds, but after I replaced the router, after it died, I was getting 2 MBs.  Might also want to check your cable modem signal levels to make sure everything is ok there. Check to make sure the coaxial cables are nice and tight, they can loosen over time.

Loucks posted:Who knows? At least Chase's fraud protection algorithm is pretty good, it just sucks waiting for the new cards to show up. Get another card, keep it activated but don't use it. When you have to cancel your other cards (I do this every 6-8 months or so to get the number out of the system) you can use the spare while the new one comes in. Then you make one of the new ones the next spare. Only time I've had my card stolen was when Newzbin's card processor got hacked. This was like 3+ years ago, before they shut down.

Meta Ridley posted:I am kind of confused, Astraweb is my primary provider and NZBMatrix/nzbs.org as my indexers and I haven't ran into any totally nuked posts which I figure would be very common. Usually a couple parts missing but so far with 300GB downloaded I've used 2.4GB of blocknews as backup, 100% completion rate. This is my experience with Supernews as well. I pretty much never get DMCA'd downloads and I d/l a lot more than you. I'm sure it relates to downloading habits: what you download, how old it is when you download it, etc...

It finishes and gives the red error "repair failed, not enough blocks (2658 short)" From there, I hit retry, and retry on the pop up right? I've never had success after it initially fails. I'm using Supernews and Blocknews (I think I just figured out why, but please let me know what you think)

I download a lot of stuff from Supernews and pretty much only ever run in to DMCAed posts in groups offering a particular category of content. a.b.g.x is one of the main ones affected in my experience, most content there doesn't last much more than a few hours.

Speaking of traffic shaping, anyone here use an OpenVPN proxy or something similar? I only really get throttled on streaming video, not Usenet, but it is annoying enough that I am considering just encrypting everything for a few bucks a year.

Having a very odd problem, but not sure if it's sabnzbd or my ipad. When I access sabnzdb from my ipad (localhost:8080), it's only showing a random freeze frame from a week or two ago. It's fine at my desktop, but it's the strangest thing.

You're browsing localhost on your iPad and it's showing you SABnzbd that's hosted on your PC? That shouldn't be working, should it? edit: I type slow

Localhost basically means "the computer that this browser is running on"... aka your iPad. Assuming your iPad is on the same network as your desktop, you want to input the IP address of your desktop instead of localhost.

I restarted Sickbeard last night to build 497, and then promptly was locked out - Sickbeard was running, the log file was screaming up at 5k / second but there was no webpage. It turns out that it was reindexing, and adding a file size to each episode. My Sickbeard Database is quite big [ 395 shows (146 active) | 18753/18788 episodes downloaded] and it ended up taking around 50 minutes to finish moving everything around before the web management interface came back up.

What provider are you using? I'm with Giganews at the moment (with a block plan from Astraweb as backup) but I'm still getting so many failed downloads and missing articles, which is a huge pain in the rear end to find out after a huge download.

Ah I didn't know internode offered usenet for free.. I'm stuck using Dodo, though because my area was forced to upgrade to fibre (South Brisbane) I get 25mbit fibre with no usage cap which none of the other ISPS seem to do in this area.. Sab seems to make good use of my backup Astraweb account actually, though it's newly released movies which seem to fail most often, and files over 1000 days old usually fail, even though they advertise 1525 days retention. Maybe I'll swap them around and use Astraweb as the main and something else as the backup. Giganews: Total: 3.4 T Today: 109.6 G This week: 1.0 T This month: 2.8 T Astraweb (Backup) Total: 10.4 G Today: 466 M This week: 4.6 G This month: 10.4 G It's a shame that torrents are so unreliable (speed-wise) because at least I know the file will work after it's downloaded.

There's always the seedbox/private tracker route. That requires a little too much effort IMO though and ends up costing more than usenet.

My combo of Newshosting (Highwinds) and a BlockNews account that's a few years old is still going strong. Managed to pull a set of files that were 1,480 days old the other day and came down without a hitch. Plus I share the account with a friend (different IP) so I only pay about $7 a month, really can't complain.

Anyone else seeing this? Config->Post Processing, Under naming change it to whatever you want. He changed the default awhile ago, no clue why. I changed it to Custom and use "Season %0S/%SN - %Sx%0E - %EN" since my structure is basically Root\ShowName\Season 0x\. There's also a toggle to name Air by dates differently.
