Really dumb question but sometimes I download something that is just a bin file and an svf file claiming the contents of the bin file. I assume the files are inside the bin, but I have no idea how to extract the bin, other than maybe chmoding +x and running it on linux, but how would I go about this in windows? I can't seem to mount it, anyone else do this from windows? Or is everyone else just extracting them in Linux?

I've never had that in a download -- but to me a .bin file is a cd/dvd image, which could be written with imgburn or i would try to extract the contents with 7zip.

Every time I've downloaded something and it contained a .bin file, it was just some adware/spyware/virus crap. Usually there's an executable bundled with the .bin, perhaps your downloader is set to ignore .exe files? Delete it and find another release for whatever you were looking for. The .bin file just contains garbage.

Is it just me or is CouchPotato utter garbage? I have to kill the task after almost every search to restart. Is there an alternative that actually works?

Just you? I've had no such problems on three different boxes running CP. Wait, are you talking about CouchPotato or CouchPotato Server (a.k.a. CouchPotato version 2)? Also, in either case, are you running it from source or from the precompiled .exe?

I find that it is less than ideal on average, I run it from source. SB does a better job with tv than CP does with movies.

Supposedly, NZBDrone, which apparently works on linux now, is currently working on adding Movies support into it. So that might work for you down the line as a replacement. I mean, it can't possibly be worse than CP.

I used to have this issue, I'd leave it on and it would download nothing, then after restarting I'd get loads in one go. The newer versions are a lot more reliable though. I get a lot more issues with sickbeard now, but that's probably more to do with me running the anime branch. It often gets stuck on the processing stage and I have to kill sab2sickbeard from the task manager.

I had the same issue with CouchPotato constantly crashing, so I just stopped running it. If it really has gotten better, I'll give it another chance. Sickbeard has always worked a lot better for me.

I have that issue with CouchPotato occasionally. I mean, it will be fine for a month or more and then all of a sudden stop downloading stuff until I restart it. I set up a cronjob to restart CouchPotato every night. Problem solved with no downsides. I would hate to live in a usenet world without CouchPotato. It maintains my list of all the stuff I want to see and reminds me when they're out without tying me to any third party that might close up shop at any time.

I just wish the interface was nicer for mobile devices. 99% of the time I want to add something to it I'm nowhere near a computer, and that stupid search box is finnicky as all hell in mobile safari. Makes me happy I still have an old version of Qouch on my phone.

I finally caved and tried out CouthPotato and sickbeard a while ago and I hate both of them. Sickbeard is pretty cool when it actually works but I feel like I had to manually refresh it each time. And then when I want to trawl a backlog of some show, it wouldnt work either. If i have to do everything manually, whats the point? Couch, on the other hand, is just strange. The quality settings thing is difficult to actually get what you want. I'm a big fan of moderately sized 720p releases (2 to 3 gigs). It is absolutely awful at trying to grab these. Sometimes things are uploaded and the indexer doesnt properly apply the "720p" tag to it or whatever and if doesnt have that, forget it. Just so much hassle, when I can just go through , use that android NZB program i cant remember the name of, and add it to my cart and have it waiting for me at home.

If i have to do everything manually, whats the point? Weird, I've had Sickbeard running for probably 3+ years or so, with 50+ shows and have never really had any issues with it. I've never had to do anything manually with it. I'll add a new show once a month or so, and let it do it's thing. The only issues I run into is when my usenet server doesn't have episodes and I have to go out and find them manually at other sources. Not really the fault of sickbeard though.

Yeah SickBeard is pretty solid for me. It gets a few things confused (mainly combined episodes and episode '0' previews, but it does well. I wish you could flag a show as, 'I don't care about this show ANYMORE. Add new episodes as skipped'. The cron job for CouchPotato isn't a bad idea... I have been meaning to switch that box over to linux for a long time now, anyway.

I know its not supposed to be like that, I'm just saying thats how it ended up for me. I guess cause I don't run my NAS 24/7. I would wake it, and shows that had aired while it was asleep it would mark as SKIPPED, so i'd have to manually tell it no, please go search for them. It sucked.

This seems really weird to me because on the rare occasion I turn my server off, whenever it turns back on again Sickbeard finds whatever aired while it was off. I'm with you on CP but you should keep digging into SB as it's pretty much the best thing ever.

The couch potato is a known issue and reportedly fixed for the next release. I have to restart (or sometimes kill and reopen) after each download. CPU fills a core constantly. Apparently had something to do with the destinations in the renamer. Looking forward to the best binary release...

Sickbeard or SABtoSickbeard is making it so the files created aren't shared, the parent folders (and drive) are all shared correctly. And I can even see the file in the folder, but if I try to watch the file on a different computer, or if I attempt to copy it to a different machine I get a "You need permissions" error. It even happens to different files within the same folder (the newer ones are broken.) Basically parent share/security properties aren't being applied to new files. Any idea the cause or a fix?

SB (well, usenet in general) is horrible for catching up on shows. Currently airing season 3 and you want season 1? That is likely going to suck. I wish the ability to pick a different release (like CP does) was available in SB. For currently running shows, SB is decent though. AnimalChin posted:Headphones is just flat out broken for me. Some artists don't have albums according to headphones / the lovely source of data. That said, my biggest problem is that most of the music I listen to is simply not on usenet.

Backlog searching is pretty simple, it is easy to set up, the devs work constantly and you can pick a different release manually if you go into the page for the show and click on the down arrow next to the magnifying glass and pick Manual Search. Great program, I have had better luck with it than SB for a long time now. http://www.nzbdrone.com/

So I'm not 100% on where to put this, maybe in the insanely fast interweb speedcar section, or what. Basically, I've noticed that my Usenet download speeds have dropped CONSIDERABLY in the past couple months. I used to get a maxed-out 6 MB/s, and now I'm getting anywhere between 800 KB/s - 2 MB/s. It's like Comcast knows the ports I use for Usenet and throttles accordingly. I know they say they don't throttle, and I don't see how I could know one way or another for sure, so maybe they don't. I'm not going over my Comcast download cap, either. When doing other stuff, like downloading a Steam game, I'll get a consistent 5-6 MB/s, so I know I'm capable of going faster with Usenet. Anybody else have any issues similar to this?

If I open steam and download a game it maxes out. Comcast "speed tests" tell me I have the proper download speed. I have a backup tweaknews account that runs the same speed. SSL / non-SSL runs the same speed during those hours. Its only during about 5pm-1am that I get lowered speeds. Steam uses a CDN. Residential cable often has the highest usage at night when everyone is home. This is totally normal.

Supernews and SSL. Tried the two SSL ports I know of, no difference. Maybe the peak hours thing is what's happening, but it's definitely something new. Glad(?) to know I'm not the only one.
