I'm on sab and drone after switching from sickbeard. There were some real benefits in using drone (better handling of failed downloads). I guess nzbGet is better if want to use it on a nas/router but I couldn't find a reason for switching when I hosed around with it.

I always found that SAB used a hideous amount of CPU when downloading (even with the cache turned up), and nzbget less so. If it's running on the same box as, say, your Plex install, then that gets to be a pain in the arse really quickly.

xgalaxy posted:So it seems most people are preferring nzbget + nzbdrone over sab + sick these days. nzbget uses less resources but its configuration/UI is straight up archaic. I don't have to interact with it much because my automation chain is pretty solid but if I did it would get annoying. nzbgets backfilling seems better and I do like the per download stat tracking but other than they do the same thing. When I look at Drone vs Sickbeard I think the former is superior unless you're using a fork but with nzbget vs SAB its really just a matter of preference.

Craziest NZBGet feature? It automatically saves every single NZB unless you put history to 0 days. They do this to make the history feature of the program as good as it could possibly be, and always give you a chance to redownload something you've gotten in the past. Never mind we live in an age where your average illegal posting is DMCAed within hours of finishing. The devs recommend using a PP script to purge the NZBs, but come on. Also, the installation on Windows is still needlessly complicated compared to SAB, and there's no tutorial for novice users to help them get started. I do suppose the devs will continue to wonder though they they're on official release 13, yet people still prefer SAB.

Drone can removes nzb files from nzbgets history so I never really noticed that before. I don't know, I think anyone who is installing Sickbeard can probably manage nzbget but I agree that the documentation and user interface for the project is pretty terrible. It is definitely not for novice users or people new to Usenet. That said it has a few attractive features and is great for low resource installs on NAS devices.

I've kept away from NzbDrone both because it's written in C# and for lacking proper backlog searches, at least as far as I could tell when reading up on the software's Github wiki pages a while back. Besides, Sickbeard has been working solid for years and is supported in the Android app I use, so I didn't see much reason to make the switch. Failed download handling is neat, but I'd rather just switch over to a Sickbeard fork if that ever starts becoming a problem for me. Played around a bit with SickRage a few weeks ago, they've added lots of features mainline lacks but the program overall seems a bit more unstable for it.bobfather posted:Craziest NZBGet feature?

Does anyone remember what the special type of configuration was that someone posted in here a while ago for externally accessing SAB/etc? it was something along the lines of using your WAN_IP:port_number to access one port on the network via traditional forwarding, and then that automatically connects to another port to kind of obscure what you're actually connecting to and preventing the external connection gaining access to the rest of the network.

Sounds like a reverse proxy. I connect to server/sab (which I can access from wherever because I have my own domain name) and that connects to localhost:8086.

I've been using SABnzbd and Sickbeard for a very long time, but I just switched to nzbget and nzbdrone and I am extremely impressed. I've already downloaded several things and haven't found any problems so unless something happens I'll be using them in the future. If you are on the fence about switching I really suggest giving them both a try. (I'm also running them on Ubuntu 14.04 and perhaps it's a placebo-effect but these new programs seem considerably faster too!)

Thinking of doing this too, just hope I don't lose anything with regards to functionality. I still have MyNZB on my iPhone from years ago and it still works and is so useful when out and about, the NZBS.org site is a bit of a mare to navigate in Safari on the phone. Also how much of a mare is it getting nzbdrone to read from old SickBeard folders? I presume it's fine with them given the amount of people who undoubtedly have moved over.

Add series,import from disk, click add for each series to confirm it has selected the same one as SB (SB uses tvdb, drone uses trakt so sometimes a difference crops up). Very easy.

Just a heads up...if you're installing nzbdrone on Ubuntu, you either need to ignore the instructions that recommend you install Mono 3.2+, or be a lot smarter than I, or spend a lot more time than I did (hours) trying to get Mono 3.2 installed. While I was really keen to try out the failed download handling, it just wasn't worth the effort.

I'm building a shiny new NAS on the weekend to replace my old one, so it seems an opportune moment to switch from Sickbeard + sabnzbd to NZBdrone + SABnzbd. How good is NZBdrone at recognising existing shows? I have several Tb of shows (well-organized, mind you) that I will be copying over. I'll be running WHS2011 btw.

When you're importing series into nzbdrone, what are you supposed to do when it mis-identifies a series? Just go rename the folder? edit: Oh, I didn't notice that "more" link at the bottom... Thermopyle fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Aug 18, 2014 |

I switched to "The 'Drone" several months ago and have enjoyed it heavily. I feel like a dumb dummy, but what exactly is this failure-handling everyone touts? I do not believe I have noticed any different actions when something fails in SAB. It fails, and that's it... so maybe I don't have something turned on?

It is automatic in SAB and nzbget as long as you have a few different indexers and have your categories setup properly. I've seen it fail to initialize once when a download got stuck at 99% but that's about it. Speaking of SAB, are proper server priorities on the roadmap somewhere? I have a few different fill servers and want it to properly step through them like nzbget does. The Gunslinger fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Aug 18, 2014 |
