I always download at 14 megabytes per second from supernews.

it's probably on your ISP.

14MBps is only 112Mbps, which seems on par with what I am experiencing when connecting to Supernews depending on time of day, it just doesn't match up with what I can get to AstraWeb on the same download and timeframe, which 95% rules out my ISP unless they peer directly to AstraWeb (hightly doubt it given the intimate details I have with Cox infrastructure and backbone).

In the end I'm just splitting hairs really, 90Mbps is perfectly fine.

What type of speeds are people getting with Supernews? I signed up with them to see about dropping AstraWeb, but I noticed the speeds I was getting were rather erratic (constantly bouncing throughout 30-120Mbps) compared to downloading the same thing from AstraWeb I would get a consistent 140-150Mbps for the duration of the download.

I max out my comcast connection at 10 megabytes/sec no matter the time of day.

I'm trying to get sabnzbd+ to run a one line script after downloading a file. The script uses a small cli program to upload the folder that's unpacked to google drive.

In sabnzbd I get the error "Cannot run script /home/mark/.sabnzbd/scripts/magazines.sh"

The code of the script is below, and I've made sure that it's executable and readable by all users:

code:
#!/bin/sh
drive upload --file "$1"
Any ideas from those who use unix shell scripts with sabnzbd?

edit: Nevermind, sorted it out. The $1 variable passed does not contain the full absolute path, just the relative path from the completed downloads directory.

If we're having a race to the bottom for Australia I get a maximum of 500k/sec. No NBN in my area and I'm right on the border between two exchange coverage areas so the maximum distance from either.

Sonarr + CP + NZBGet Issue:

I switched over to NZBGet a couple months ago and haven't had many issues, but lately I've noticed that nothing has auto-downloadeded since December 21st in my "History", but I have a ton of "Info" messages, seen below. Any idea what's going on, exactly?

Well, I'd first attempt to force feed a NZB from your indexer. It may be something simple like your IP changing. Also check to make sure you're still port forwarding to that box. Whenever this happens to be it's because my external IP changed.

I've got a problem with NZBGet at the moment. I can connect to it from the computer it's running on just fine but from any other computer on my network I get a connection time out. I've checked and it's bound to 0.0.0.0 so it should be reachable from what I've understood but it's not showing up. I can happily reach sonarr, CP, etc on that computer so I don't think it's a firewall issue. Any suggestions for what might be causing it?

Just because other programs work doesn't mean the firewall's still not to blame. Sometimes they just don't properly detect a new program asking to listen and so they don't prompt you and thus don't end up making the rule to allow it through. Check it anyways.

Well, I'm an idiot for thinking that it would just be set up fine. For some reason in my firewall rules it was specifically listed as blocked. Changed it and it's all sorted. Thanks for making me check!

It's what I use and I haven't hit something unrepairable in quite awhile.

My setup in nzbget goes:

0 - Supernews US
1 - Supernews EU
2 - Usenet.farm
3 - Tweaknews
4 - Blocknews

I hate manual intervention, everything must be automatically repairable :)

I top up my block accounts once every 2-3 years. I share my block accounts with my brother too.

Excellent, thanks y'all. I forgot about adding the supernews EU server, so I did that and grabbed a block from tweaknews. Hopefully this will help my friend's backfill project.

I'm glad Sonarr has failed download monitoring, otherwise this would be a huge pain in the rear end.

Anyone using the new .8 beta version of SABnzbd? I started adding more backup block servers and really want to use the new priority features. I was wondering if there were any issues with it before I made the upgrade.

I should probably switch to NZBGet at this point, but that would probably take an hour or two to migrate settings/rss/connected apps, and I'm a lazy rear end in a top hat.

It's not a new thing, it's been the downloader of choice for quite some time. Theres no single reason for it, it just does enough things that little bit better. Not sure I'd change from an existing system over to it, I gave it a shot when I did a new install and decided to keep it on.

On my little NAS, it uses noticeably less CPU and RAM than SABNzbd.

Same here. Just about every step of the process is faster, and this may be totally subjective, but it seems to successfully repair files with a greater frequency.

I got super tired of seeing your avatar throwing those fuckin' glasses around in the astrology thread so I fixed it to a .jpg
The reason I switched to NZBGet is because it supports different SSL encryption schemas. I get about 10% faster download speed than Sab because of that. The depackaging and organization seems a little bit faster, as well.

The reason I switched to nzbget was I was just trying something new. I don't really have a preference for it over sabnzbd or vice versa, though if I had a low-power server then I'd prefer it its not wrote in python.

It's not bad. Main thing is substitute Sonarr for Sickbeard, and look at nzbget instead of sabnzbd (look at last few posts above yours).

Yeah the difference between sonarr and sickbeard is definitely greater than the distance between nzbget and sabnzbd.

Same here. I still run SAB on my desktop and laptop but use NZBGet on my server (NZBGet Chrome extension doesn't support multiple hosts were NZBStatus does). I can't say I've noticed any functional difference as far as the key features go, but I don't really use anything advanced. No SSL, no backup servers, nothing but automatic repair/unpack, categories, and the remote APIs Sickbeard/Sonarr type apps and browser extensions use.

Agreed that the CPU efficiency is the main difference, so basically if what you're running it on is full PC-class hardware use whatever you like more.

I once tried NZBGet, but I switched back to SAB after I found out that I couldn't use it as an "open with" target for nzb files. It wouldn't queue up the nzb if I used it like that. Does anybody know if this has been changed?

Firefox remembers to save NZBs to the NZBs directory, so I just save manual ones there and just do a "scan inccoming directory" in NZBGet to start them up if I'm in a hurry.

I think it has, they redid all of the Windows stuff awhile ago but I'll double check when I get home later and update this post.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you I thought it already had this. Under Download Queue->Keep History just change it to 0 days or whatever. I have mine set to a few days in case I need to post-process something again due to issues.

I think it's a combination of 2 settings. The author posted about this awhile ago:

quote:

There is a command "Download again" in the history dialog. As long as the download is in history the nzb-file is considered "needed". When the download is removed from the history the nzb-file is removed too.
See options NzbCleanupDisk and KeepHistory.

If you want to delete nzb-files immediately after download this can be achieved via a post-processing script.

I will test it out when I get home later and if it doesn't work then I'm sure a script would be trivial for a weekend project when I'm bored. There's already a script that does something similar for samples and stuff, I will probably just modify it.

If you have access to an nzbs.org account, it's free and likely the best. But they suspended all invites so getting in is a bitch. Dog is pretty good but I am not renewing next year on account of them changing lifetime subs into 1 year. NZB Cat is probably one of the best ones with open registrations if you have access to neither .org nor dog (dog closed registrations for the time being too).
