St. Blaize posted:Well it is not a dedicated newznab box, I have sabnzbd and couch potato currently running as well and plan to use it as a file server. I am not sure what kind of issues I will run into if any while running all of this together. Does the newznab_screen_local.sh script use a lot of resources run default? Yeah, honestly the highest load I saw on my box ever was when I was backfilling with that giant nzb dump they give to donators.. I had to allocate more memory to the processes and everything. I find if I keep the rotation to every 10 minutes or so it takes small bites of headers and the workload doesn't slow anything else down. The only time you *may* see any system slowdown with the things you're running is during a par repair with SAB, every other time everything should run great together. Linux is made for multitasking crap like that so it tends to make things play pretty nice. A bonus will be that your NN server will usually stay pretty current with posts as well, instead of running the crapshoot of takedowns and such when your sickbeard is trying to update your linux ISO's.

Anyone have a problem with CouchPotato just hanging and being unresponsive? I've had to manually kill it a few times. Tried it with a fresh config and database, same thing. It's getting to be loving annoying and even with debugging turned on the logfiles don't turn up anything useful to help troubleshoot it. I've tried running it from source, using the Windows binary, etc.

I don't have that turned on. CP won't log whatever the hell is causing it to bomb out and I tested the hardware extensively so it must be CP. Their forums and git sections aren't very helpful unfortunately.

My Astra account got dropped since I was using that payment method they dropped, so I'm recosidering who I do my monthly service through. I've got a block account on Readnews through BlockNews, and some blocks on Tweaknews. Should I go with Supernews's (Giganews) $10/mo deal, UsenetServer's (Highwinds) $10/mo deal, or just go back to Astra's $11/mo deal Right now I'm leaning towards Supernews, but if anyone who has checked out multiple of them thinks that Astra or UsenetServer is definitively better, I'd like to know.

For people having issues with CP, I have switched from using it to just using dognzb Movies watchlist and having it check my IMDB wishlist. The .nfo files CP would create never quite worked for me, and since xbmc scraping is fine now I just let xbmc do all the scraping it needs to. Renaming can be done with SAB but I don't rename movies any more.

This is more or less what mine looks like... http://pastebin.com/dx5hKMHR I trigger it a couple of times a day, when I'm less likely to notice the effects of the CPU peaking or my broadband getting blasted. I can definitely see the value in running the default script in a loop if you're indexing some of the busier groups (alt.binaries.multimedia, alt.binaries.movies, or some of the MP3 groups, for example), but I narrowed my selection down to a handful of x264 and HD groups which don't get enough posts to really make constant refreshing necessary. I probably index in the region of 2.5-3m headers a day in total. I dump the output of the update process into a date-coded textfile so that I can go back and check over it, should I suspect there's any issues. My scheduled command looks like this... code:

I don't want to be dependent on a single site again though but I appreciate the suggestion. The NFO files it's created have been fine for me so far and the renaming is fine (if unnecessary, XBMC scrapes just fine regardless 99.9% of the time). I really need to find a version of CP that works again and never upgrade it unless forced

Is there any trick to getting the non-plus newznab script to stop sucking? Sounds like it's just missing some clever regexps. Is there a collection of them somewhere? I have it running no problem, but I'm not getting the quality of results I was hoping for.

Don't forget Frugalusenet for $50/yr. If you don't need more than 300 days of retention, or have block plan backups, it can save a chunk of money as well.

Things are going good with the goonzb project. We're shy 1 hard drive and an HBA, and then it will be installed at the data center. When we first get this thing online it's going to be your standard NN+ setup, so a lot like nzbs.org.. But that isn't the end of development. We've had a few folks step up willing to work on the site/php stuff that way subscribers are getting something more than just another indexer that happens to be goon friendly. Aside from all the extra nice features and everything, the real big feature we'd like to see happen is an active community with sane comments and ratings, etc. I think that will be one of, if not the best, features. I've recieved around 50 messages saying various people were interested, I'm hoping that's about 25%-50% of the people that would like to subscribe, because in order to make this a good value-added service at a good price, we need around 100-150 users to at least cover costs for the first year (Which include the hardware) at low prices to the end user. If anyone has good suggestions on how to handle the paypal / payment side of things we'd love to hear it.

I've found it unreliable as hell, and it's why I stopped using it to feed CP. It definitely wasn't CP at fault - every time I used an RSS reader on the watchlist link, it'd either show 0 or 1 movie at most. iMDB seemed to acknowledge it's broken as hell but never seemed to do anything about it. CP is playing up for me, keeps thinking it's snatched NZBs when it hasn't, will have a tinker on the weekend. Hopefully nothing major.

I just attempted to download several things, and I got WAIT x sec / Trying to fetch NZB from http://imgur.com(numbers) It also tried to download from almost every other website I had open in tabs. What on earth? Understandably, there were error logs of empty nzb files.

I think nzbdStatus has a string or regex that is intended to catch and route NZBs to SABnzbd from a variety of sites without explicitly listing each one. Try to reproduce the error with nzbdStatus disabled. gary oldmans diary fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Jan 16, 2013 |

Do most of these new NewzNab sites suck real bad because they are still indexing things or is it because the people running them are terrible? I have like 8 I added to my couchpotato settings and I don't get much at all. Of course I'm not getting much from my own local NewzNab because of both reasons so I can't judge too much.

Depends on which sites. Dognzb and nzbs.org are awesome, I get like 90% of my stuff between those 2 and the SB Index. The rest comes from spotweb which I run on my NAS, kept getting unreliable results from other sites, dumb poo poo like their filters let spam through and emptied out my CP queue.

If you can, offer payment methods aside from paypal because they're douche bags. I'd like to suggest Amazon Simple Payments. The biggest perk is Amazon Payments works like a standard bank account in that it actually is one as opposed to paypal that only pretends to be one (they're actually a broker).GAS CURES KIKES posted:If anyone has good suggestions on how to handle the paypal / payment side of things we'd love to hear it.

I can donate a few bucks to the GoonNZB project and I'm also a UI/UX designer if you need some of that. Also either coucpotato or headphones (I'm thinking CP) has been throwing weird harddisk not found errors lately so I'm going to try turning off the manage function and see where that goes.
