if the episode is the latest from the series it will be set to "High" priority, if it isn't the latest it will get a "normal" priority level.

LaserWash posted:Hmmm... Pulled my supernews on a 10 mb cable connection down from 30 to 6 connections... No difference in download speed (unless I need to restart). Max appears to be 1.3 mb/s. 10 Megabits per second is 1.25 Megabytes per second. So you're maxing it out just fine. Internet service is always advertised in megabits (Mb, big M little b) and SABnzbd displays your download speed in megabytes (MB, big M big B). Google calculator can do the math to covert the two numbers for you.

tronester posted:My first thoughts were that this was perhaps bad ram corrupting the files, as I have had that happen before. However, the 4.5 gigabyte files had no issues. Given how easy it is to run memtest86+, and how frustrating a bad RAM problem can be, I'd suggest running one overnight just to be sure. The larger file may be kicking over into another RAM bank that those multiple 4.5GB files aren't doing.

I just started using Sickbeard. It's managed to hit the API and pull something successfully that I wanted. However, it dropped it into the standard completion folder for SAnzbd. Is there a way to set Sickbeard to drop it into the folder it's downloading for?

Is there a way to set Sickbeard to drop it into the folder it's downloading for? I'm assuming you mean a separate folder for TV downloads? There is an option in the web interface to do just that: "Config" -> "Post-Processing" -> "Post-Processing". All you need to do is specify the folder structure. Although, if SABnzbd+ is handling the post-processing, it should be blank, I believe. You can set up post-processing rulesets for SABnzbd+ according to site categories like NZBMatrix's if you want in "Config" -> "Categories".

Configure Sickbeard to use a specific category when adding NZBs, like TV Shows, and then configure a post-processing directory. In SAB, configure that category to put files in the post-processing directory, and set the post-processing script to SABtoSickbeard. Once files are finished they'll be moved to that dir, then the script will call Sickbeard to rename/move the file and create whatever metadata you've specified.

Thanks to this thread and endless googling, I've finally got my usenet up and running. I saw that some of you guys subscribe to "usenetserver.com" with "blocknews" as your backup -- so I did that and also have two 'optional' backup servers in xsusenet.com and my ISPs(which isn't awful and uses Giganews). I do have some lingering questions: 1. Is there any security risk of not connecting to SABnzbd via SSL? I currently connect to usenetserver, blocknews, and xsusenet using SSL (ISP doesn't offer it) but I'm having trouble figuring out how to create a certificate and make Google Chrome "trust" SABnzbd. I researched and messed around with it for a couple of hours before finally giving up. On a related note, I attempted it in Firefox as well but couldn't even get the sabnzbdstatus extension working so I nixxed that idea. 2. What are your preferred indexing sites? I paid for nzbmatrix (currently down for me) and signed up with NZB.SU as well as the NZBclub search engine. Is there any merit to the invite-only sites like NZBS.org? 3. Newsreaders. Are there any newsgroups with actual information and discussion? I'm into filmmaking and videography and would love to engage with a community of similar interests about relevant usenet stuff. I don't really know where to begin with this though. 4. How do you "queue" things using SABconnect+ & Sabnzbd? Does "priority" matter?  Like I said, I just started usenet so I'm still in my honeymoon period but I can't believe I didn't try it before, it's awesome. Druuge Fuel fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Feb 12, 2012 |

inpheaux posted:Great info, thank you. I handle remote downloading by having sab sniff a folder in my dropbox account, so no need to worry about the SSL connection then. To clarify about my post about "queues" I was just wondering if you can set SAB to automate downloading the queue "one at a time". Regardless of my priority settings, it sets aside some bandwidth for everything in queue unless I individually pause them. I would rather dedicate 100% bandwidth to one file at a time (automatically) -- but really, it's not that big of deal. I haven't been to mysterbin before so I'm glad you mentioned it. Nice. I hope MSE can stay on point during all of this.

If you end up using google groups in Usenet discussion groups, you could end up being filtered out by other people's clients. Many will have google groups listed as spam and won't display. If you're lucky they'll have it set to just have your reply as a different color so they know what provider it's coming from. It's mostly a spam issue and people looking down on those who use Google groups. If you do find a place you want to participate in, I'd try to get a real client.

If you're concerned about bandwidth (though, you probably shouldn't be), cap SABnzbd's download speed and don't gently caress around with pausing items. If for some reason you DO want to pause everything and manually tell one thing to download, pause the whole queue, find the item you REALLY want to download, and set its priority to "Force".

Would my provider(Supernews) have any problems with me running 2 instances of Sabnzbd concurrently on the same IP? Will they know? I plan to move one to my HTPC for CP/SB stuff and keep my desktop install for random ISOs. I don't see it happening often but the download times might overlap.

Multiple instances on the same IP is no problem on Supernews as long as you stay below the connection limit. I often have a download running on my desktop at the same time as Sickbeard kicks something off on my server and have never had a problem.

I think I will bite the bullet and get access to usenet to see what its all about; I havent used newsgroups for at least 10 years, back when they were all provided free by ISPs Does anyone have any suggestions as to which provider is best? I see all sorts of posts about giga/supernews having tons of DMCA takedowns, and tons of people saying the same is happening with Astraweb too? Is there a "best choice" these days? or just same poo poo, different pile?

I'd get a main account from the OP. Supernews is what I use, and would recommend. Haven't had any problems with them, but YMMV. And have a block plan for backup, just in case there's an incomplete. Mine's Astraweb but I haven't used it in a while so take a look at Blocknews as well.

You're going to need a backup server either way. Supernews has DMCAs. Astraweb will get random missing blocks. It's a toss up.

I use Supernews and Blocknews as a fill server, I can count the number of incompletes from the past year on one hand. I think for $9 or whatever they are pretty much the best option out there.

Is there anybody here using FrugalUsenet? For $5.99/month, I get 300 days retention and SSL. I'm currently using SuperNews right now but for $4 less per month (I'm unemployed right now so every penny counts), I'm thinking of switching because almost all of my downloads are newer releases. I just want to get some feedback from current users. Thanks in advance.

I just saw somebody mentioning about Astraweb's 3-month deal for $20. That's $6.67/month on the average for the same 1200+ days retention or only 67 cents more than FrugalUsenet. After the lapse of the first three-month period, can it be renewed for another three months and so forth? Because if that would be the case (instead of a one-time thing), that would be so worth it and I might just get that over FrugalUsenet.

I'm considering it, but I've been riding their $11 Kleverig Special for a while now, and I'm afraid of changing now that they've bumped the price back up to $15.

I think that's fine by me. I have sucky Internet anyway (5 Mbit/second max) so it won't bother me. Thanks for the input. I'll make the switch after this billing period with Supernews ends.

I had one file try to get repair blocks and fail to find everything, and one other thing (that was pretty obscure) that it couldn't finish. That's out of hundreds of successful results. No complaints here.

Shy posted:Seeing all my downloads from > 500 days I wouldn't see 300 days retention as something worth paying for. Yeah. I'm not one who generally knows about things in real-time, so I rely on the backlog a lot. Also, I have to think (speculate) that the existence of such extensive retention means that there's a lot less reposting than there used to be.

I setup a friend with XBMC on an apple TV, I originally planned to run sabnzbd on the system itself but due to limited resources I could see serious performance issues when running par2. So, I'm asking for advice on how to configure everything. What I've done is setup sabnzbd and sickbeard on his desktop computer. The movies will be hosted on the ATV however I don't want it to download directly to it since it's over wireless and I'm worried about the connection being interrupted. So, what I want to do is:

I'm getting slow-downs with astraweb recently. It will download all day at 25mbit/s (my ISP max) and then suddenly vary wildly between 0kb/s and 500kb/s. I've tried switch between SSL and non-SSL and different ports. Any idea what's going on? ISP is Verizon FIOS if it matters. duz posted:Yes. I probably should fix that up. Please do  I'll even donate a few dollars your way once it's working again if you have a donate button anywhere.
