Does anyone know what's up with Sickbeard? I was seeing an update almost every couple of days, and now there hasn't been any commits since 6-27. I'm not really complaining, as it works perfectly for me now, I was just curious if they are taking a break on the project.

I have Comcast Business but I recently had Supernews set to 563(SSL). I gave my PC a restart, and no joy on Usenet, yet I could access the regular web. So I switched my SABnzbd port to 443(SSL) and then the SABnzbd downloads start again. Comcast throttling works by flagging high usage people, then if the node is congested, the high usage customer's whole connection gets throttled. Their system looks every 15 minutes. I'm not sure if the restrictions are still in place or altered for business accounts.

Comcast has got to be throttling unencrypted NNTP as well. At least on my end. 1.5MB/s Encrypted over port 563 drops down to <300KB/s when I switch to unencrypted on port 119.

This bugs me as well since I cannot use the browse function with UNC shares. I know I set the share in the config but I have been moving files around on my WHS box and now all the shows are hosed up, with no way to edit all of them at once to the new location.

I use comcast too, but I see a very marginal speed difference between these, seeing about 1.5 - 2MB/s on 119 and maybe like 2.1 to 2.2 on 563

Wouldn't it be easier to just blow out the db file and rescan everything? You probably already have all the nfo files so it wouldn't take that long.

Theres more overhead when using SSL, so you'll see a lower speed.

LukeyBoy posted:On modern systems it's a few percent at most - plus they're talking about seeing faster speeds when using encrypted connections. Well, assuming your ISP isn't crap it is slower to use SSL since the encryption has overhead. Some ISPs may limit some connection types more than others though.

Yeah it's definitely weird because all regular browsing will be fine yet I had to switch ports to get Usenet up and running again.

I am disappointed with Giganews reseller Super News. Back when I used Giganews 2 years ago, I could get downloads up to 8MB/sec, which is pretty much what it takes to saturate my internet connection. Now, they've stuck me on the EU server even though I don't specify it and I'm getting an average of 1.5-2MB/sec. That blows. A lot. Living in Korea and I'm sure that's why, but it suuuuucks. I might actually pay the Giganews premium next month for their VyprVPN (tried it when it came out and it was quite good).

This thread inspired me to finally check out this usenet business... It's all pretty cool, about what I expected. I bought a block of data from blocknews.net and after a little bit of loving around got everything working acceptably well. It's not super fast, but since my connection is not super fast and I'm in Australia where everything international is slow as balls, it's pretty good. I do have one stupid newbie question though. If I downloaded something and sabnzbd is saying "Repair failed, not enough repair blocks", I'm pretty much hosed, right? I tried manually unraring everything, but that failed too. I've tried "retrying" over a couple of days and that doesn't work either. There's no point going to a different indexing site and grabbing a new .nzb because they're all pointing to the same source, right? Is it worth deleting the files and the .nzb and starting the whole thing again, or is that just going to give me the exact same result? (I think it will be pointless but I'm a brand new newbie at this).

(I think it will be pointless but I'm a brand new newbie at this). You're probably screwed unless you try getting the files from a different provider. Whatever you were downloading was probably missing some pieces. This can happen for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they get taken down for various reasons, sometimes they are too old and start expiring, sometimes the uploader just screwed up and didn't upload all the parts.

What Marvel said, but also it's worth your time to open up the directory and run QuickPAR (or whatever) and see if you can repair it manually. If SAB tried to repair the file using the wrong par files (some nzbs include par files for samples, for example) it might fail, but you'll still be able to extract the file manually.

There's no point going to a different indexing site and grabbing a new .nzb because they're all pointing to the same source, right? try using an external par2 repairer that tells you how many blocks each file has and how many you're short, then googling the file names of the low-hanging fruit to find alternate sources.

So, I finally got of my rear end and setup RSS feeds in sabnzbd, and they are working beautifully. In my use case though, me and a few friends are sharing an account that has sabnzbd + FTP running in a datacenter somewhere, then we log in over FTP and grab our stuff. What Windows (or Linux/Solaris I guess) clients are scriptable? I'd like to have something that can login, go to '\Linux ISOs', ls, and put Ubuntu in my Ubuntu folder, Fedora in my Fedora folder, etc. I'm hoping there's a client out with Lua scripting or something, instead of having to roll my own program to pipe into/from ncftp or something and parse stuff. e: it looks like WinSCP will script, possibly NcFtp under windows too. If I end up writing something useful, I will come back and share it here. movax fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Aug 1, 2011 |

I'm having an issue getting email notification to work. It used to work, but then I changed my gmail password and it stopped working and I was too lazy to fix the password. Now I have SABnzbd+ set up on a dedicated server, I copied the config from before (substituting the correct password), but when I try to send a test message I never receive it. So then I tried the config from http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-email, but that didn't work, either.

Then you need to either grab more PAR files if you didn't get them all, or else re-download the broken sections hoping to get more data this time. In Australia myself, and I've had it happen once or twice where I just used a different indexing service to get an NZB for the files that show the most missing blocks and downloaded those. Replaced the broken ones with those and re-ran QuickPAR and it fixed it all up.

Thanks everyone, I'll give all that a shot later on tonight. I think I'm missing 3 blocks, which doesn't seem like much, so I guess there's hope. I still don't totally understand this system. What exactly is a PAR / PAR2 file? A repair thingy for the main RAR archive?

AlphaDog posted:I still don't totally understand this system. What exactly is a PAR / PAR2 file? A repair thingy for the main RAR archive? If SABnzbd says you're missing blocks, you are almost certainly hosed without buying access to a supplementary newsfeed. Typically people use an unlimited feed with a block provider set as backup, so you only chip away at the block provider when parts are missing on the unlimited feed. As Gromit said, there's a chance you can find a better NZB on another indexer, but in my experience that's pretty rare, unless your original NZB was some custom-generated one where you missed part of the set.

If you could also find a matching seeded torrent, point it at the incomplete directory, hash check, and have it finish downloading just 1 file missing ~3 blocks (have it ignore all other files). Then, you're no longer short 3 repair blocks and can repair the job right away.

Are Easynews and Supernews using the same backend? I like the web search for Easynews to find single files easily, and will probably keep it just for that, but it has always had poor retention. So I figured I would sign up for the $99 Supernews deal to get access to older stuff. Only after I did that, I went and looked at the actual Easynews retention, to fill it in in SABNZBD, and it is actually 1000 days+ for NNTP (only 150 days for web though.) So I'm wondering if I actually gained anything by spending that $99.

I still hope that it's only temporary on nzbs.org, but after spending time on nzb.su, I've really grown to like it; so much about the site has changed since when I first signed up for it and it actually caused me to donate the ~$15 for a good service. I still like the simplicity of nzbs.org, but nzb.su isn't too bad. Edit: And nzbs.org is back up. Red Marx fucked around with this message at 02:09 on Aug 3, 2011 |

Someone has created a Sickbeard/Couch Potato type program for searching Usenet for music. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=103688 https://github.com/rembo10/headphones It's a little inelegant right now. Like Sickbeard, you basically "subscribe" to an artist, then the program seems to scrape Musicbrainz for all of the artist's official releases. It can also "sync" with your library to determine what songs in a discography you already have.  I've seen people ask for something like this before, and I figure that the coder population here might be interested in taking a crack at helping this guy out. EDIT: It's parsing through my library now. I feel that the "formal" way that it's organizing certain artists is not going to work well if I try to search for songs or albums by the artist later (scene conventions vs. musicbrain naming conventions). Also, I'm deathly afraid of what's going to happen when this scraper hits "Various Artists" EDIT: It appears to read the "Artist" tag, rather than the "Album Artist" tag. Still, this is definitely a "set it up, walk away for a few hours" situation. EDIT: The first two images made me a little uncomfortable because they were kinda explicit. Worth checking out the links if the concept interests you. The Modern Leper fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Aug 4, 2011 |

So, fourteen hours or so later, I would say DO NOT let Headphones scan your hard drive. It will pull up a full discography and subscribe to every single artist it finds. It doesn't matter if you don't particularly want stuff by the artist, or if you only have one song by the artist. If you delete an artist, it will restore the information without asking. If you don't have it scan your library, however, it seems to be a pretty cool way to simplify searching for specific pieces of music. The "auto-seek" only works for pending releases -- there's no "backlog," though you can always search individual pieces within a catalog.
