Check and see if Sabnzbd is the current version. Every time that crops up I notice my Sabnzbd is super outdated and having 3 backbones won't cover it up.

Looks like that did it. Weird stuff.

EDIT: Looks like it actually didn't. Anyone know a good europe based provider that doesn't resell the same poo poo that supernews and tweaknews does?

The biggest difference with the fork is it has alternate download support if a particular release fails. In other words it will try different scene releases if the one it first found failed, like Couchpotato.

Why wasn't this just added directly into the source project? Does Sickbeard just outright refuse to have alternate downloading or is it another case of FOSS nih?

Get a block plan in one of the others, a free account with xusenet wont hurt either.

You have to remove it from the blacklist. It doesn't check blacklisted items except for the first time from what I understand.

History -> Blacklist

Either find the individual file, or just click Clear Blacklist.

Then tell it to search again, should clear it up.

Thank you but my blacklist was completely blank. Nothing was listed there. No clue what's going on! :iiam:

Maybe I've missed it in this thread or have forgotten but I've been having trouble lately with Supernews on Comcast where I'm just getting timeouts on all my requests. Anyone else having this problem. Trying to figure out if it's Supernews or Comcast trying to throttle me.

Supernews doesn't/wouldn't throttle. Comcast definitely would, but this is why you need to get a VPN. But I doubt Comcast is throttling either, your connection is probably just lovely for that timeframe.

Comcast would throttle my supernews connection until I used SSL, then it was fine.

I was getting timeout connection on supernews the past couple of days as well, but things still downloaded so who knows.

I would personally say that there's no excuse to not use SSL. You should be using SSL + VPN with usenet, but at the very least SSL.

suddenlyissoon: Feb 17, 2002; Don't be sad that I am gone.

So I've got a Revo 3610 and a Synology DS212j sitting around the house. Which would be the better system to set up as a straight downloader through VPN on usenet? I've been using the Revo for the past few years in Windows and it can sometimes take up to 20 minutes to unrar a 4gb file.

It turns out my Supernews account was getting auto renewed for the year and it just took awhile for the charge to clear. My account was on hold until then.
That is why I was getting the timeouts.

Does nzbdrone work nicely behind an Apache reverse proxy? I've been trying to set that up for Sickbeard for ages but it refuses to accept my web_root setting and thinks it's running at the root of a domain.

I've really got no other reason to move away from Sickbeard - it's worked flawlessly for me for nearly 3 years, but this is annoying me now. Having said that I don't even access it externally that often, it's just my constant need to tinker with things taking over.

# ? Oct 21, 2014 07:36

Nitr0: Aug 17, 2005; IT'S FREE REAL ESTATE

never felt the need to access this from outside my network so damned if I know. All I know if the auto failed download handler is the bees knees and my sickbeard was also working fine for years but this is better.

I totally agree. The ability to declare a download as failed and have it automatically seek out another one is really handy. As is the manual search function. That it looks nice is a bonus too.

I've used nzbdrone for like 10 minutes but it seemed to work flawlessly.

Just set the url base in ~/.config/NzbDrone/config.xml like

code:

<UrlBase>drone</UrlBase>

Even if they did, SSL is probably plenty to stop any snooping, using a VPN as well is just overkill. Unless you're downloading child porn and bomb plans on the daily, no one gives a poo poo about you downloading the latest Vampire Time Traveling Drug Dealer episodes or whatever the gently caress

Sorry to bug you, could you post the snippet of your Apache config that corresponds to the reverse proxy setup? I must be misunderstanding something fundamental because whatever combinations of leading/trailing slashes I try, I get either redirect loops, broken images, or just a blank page saying "NZBDrone ver."

I'm using nginx, so I can't help you there. Sorry.

code:

        location /drone {
                include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
                proxy_pass http://localhost:8989;

Pick something from one of the other provider groups from the big Map Of Usenet. There is also a shockingly not-poo poo reddit post with the info that is probably more up to date.

I have a 150-500GB block with most of the US and EU groups, and I rarely have any issues getting stuff to complete.

If you do have multiple block accounts for backup, try using NZBget, it works a lot better than SABZNBD+ at tiering the backfill servers and unbreaking broken downloads.
