I had always kept the number of server connections as low as I can while still getting top speed, but when sab is checking nzb parts it is 10 times faster to use as many server connections as possible. So is there any good reason not to max out the number of connections?

I don't know whether SAB does any caching or buffering to mitigate this, but at least a simple implementation of a multi-connection downloader would create a greater load on the disk and depending on a few factors may increase filesystem fragmentation. Whether this is actually enough to be relevant, no idea.

I'm using SABConnect++ for Chrome, and even though the option is enabled there's no "send to SAB" link on NZB.su. I'm fairly sure this was working before. I'm using version 0.5.11.

Working here on 0.5.11. I'm not seeing any theme options on nzb.su, so that's not the problem. No idea why it wouldn't be working for you, but on my machine the buttons show up just left of the post title.

SAB has an option to buffer a certain user setable amount of parts to RAM before flushing it all to disk. I use 128MB for that setting.

If I find the free time I'll take a look at it and try my hand at a fix, but unlike a few months ago I'm not swimming in free time at the moment.

If it's set that high, I don't think connections will have any impact at all on disk usage then. It should be only writing out when it's done downloading an entire file based on normal splits.

I added the issue to the tracker so we'll see what happens. Has Sickbeard (running from Source) updated in the last few weeks? I haven't seen any, and just noticed an error in the log ("Git returned bad info, are you sure this is a git installation?") that makes me think something might be up, even though it was working fine before.

I have a problem with the nzbdstatus add on for firefox, whenever I try to access the add on options I get this message: Happens only in the 2.0 versions of the add on, the latest "official" one works ok, anyone have any ideas what the reason for this might be? I got the latest Firefox and Win7 64bit. EDIT: also using non-english firefox, could that be the cause?

As someone who grew up with standard forums, can anyone tell me what Usenet offers that the www does not? I'm simply curious and considering seeing what it's all about, is it pretty much like a discussion forum but with an older average user? Is the quality of information and/or conversation different than I would see on SA, for instance?

It exists, but it's been mostly replaced by forums and the like. You use Google Groups to browse what is out there, if you're interested. Everything in this thread is about downloading various binaries.

B-Nasty posted:Yep. I guess because of their size/prevalence, Giga, and the dependents, seem to DMCA very quickly when the rights owner asserts it. Definitely agree with this one. Some of the stuff I grab is like that and Giga/Super tend to nuke the whole post vs removing a few rar files. I removed my blocknews from SABnzbd due to this because I'd come back later with 8GB missing from my block. A lot of comments on the NZB sites indicate that Astraweb is better for this with less harsh/complete DMCA takedowns overall, plus using their EU servers. I think I'll give them a shot this month and see if my Giga failed downloads work on their servers.

I removed my blocknews from SABnzbd due to this because I'd come back later with 8GB missing from my block. I started out with Astraweb a few years ago, and after a while decided to sign up with Supernews to check out how Giganews' servers fared, but it was not a very pleasant experience. Supernews only got me about half the speed I'd gotten used to (I had a 50mbit connection at the time), and every other thing I tried to download turned out to be broken beyond repair, so when the subscription finally ended I ran crying back to papa Astra. Lately, however, I've been using XS News, and while their retention can't compete with the big boys, they don't seem to have the completion problems you get with Giganews. The new-ish 1TB block plan over at Astraweb at almost half the price of Blocknews is tempting, though. Quick question: how does NZBs.org compare to NZB.su? Probably won't be getting into the former anytime soon, but it'd be neat to know.

The beta site NZBs.org is moving to is the exact same thing as NZB.su but with minor cosmetic differences. The main site seems to list the same content whenever I happen to be looking for stuff across multiple sites.

I've been using Supernews as my provider and usually getting links off of NZBMatrix and haven't had any trouble.. until recently. For some reason the vast majority of "send to sab" links always fail, but if I download the zip and add it to SAB manually, it works most of the time.

Biggest human being Ever posted:EDIT: also using non-english firefox, could that be the cause? Not sure, but a strong possibility. Lots of UI changed in 2.0 and the translations have not been updated. Addons.mozilla.org won't approve it because of that, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's why it's failing for you. I can think of a quick bodge job fix of just sticking English in all the translation files for the missing strings, then it would be a mix on non-English Firefoxes but it's better than not working. Unfortunately on top of my lack of time mentioned earlier, my desktop released the magic smoke, so I can't say I'll be able to throw together anything soon. If you're comfortable messing around with things, open the .xpi with a zip program and delete the translation files. I forget exactly where they are in the tree, but they're fairly easy to find. I think a manifest file also needs to be changed. That'll make it act as an English-only extension I think.

I always thought it was the result of someone typoing 1080p in a script. Why the hell would anyone call 1440x600 810p? That'd be 600p.

I've been wondering about the weird 810p stuff for a while now. After looking around for a while I found an explanation from the group/person that's doing it. I used google translate for this and it didn't work too well but here's part of the explanation - quote:Encode the basic logic of doing a low size / high quality, good effort to keep the optimizing. (Based on the market from time to time, though forgotten.) Using the same logic or higher than previously çöznürlükler Anamorphic use when you encode 480p, which is a big effect on the quality may enable QPel GMC could use a different matrix. However, we believe users of our facilities DivXPlayer (1Mbit internet, DivXPlayer etc.) çabasındaydık doing our best. It sounds like they are saying they use 810p because it is higher quality than 720p in the same file size? It also sounds like they use filters to improve the quality?

wolrah posted:I always thought it was the result of someone typoing 1080p in a script. Displaying a 1280x544 picture on the common 1440x600 screen size is just a bit too much upscaling, in their opinion, I guess. 1440x600 (2.4:1) is quite close to 2.35:1. So they are encoding such movies at the slightly higher resolution so that they get the best possible quality on their laptop screens. In the end, they're watching movies on their laptops, which is just silly I think.

Got it. I guess if your hard drives are so packed that you can't fit real 1080p content (which is barely larger if encoded well) yet you can't stand upscaling 720p on your budget LCD (good PC LCDs start at 1680x1050), go for it. It seems like it's just one release group doing this, so it's pretty much irrelevant to the rest of us (like the people who were still posting VCD/SVCD content even in the last few years), it's just weird. wolrah fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Jun 8, 2012 |

Yeah I saw them too and we decided it was most likely due to cropping blackspace on movies that are wider than 1.85:1. It seems pointless so just ignore them, it's not going to standardise or anything like that.
