This happens only at the beginning of a job, right? I can drop a support ticket and let them know their downloads are 400-ing in the beginning. Is it possible that this behaviour is interfering with the checking script? Yes, at the beginning. It looks like the server is not yet ready / is spinning ...

My conclusion:

usenet.premiumize.me produces total and random garbage. Non-standard. Not something SAB should try to handle.

My advice: complain at them, or dump them and choose a reliable news provider

And without "Check before download", no Traceback, but again the weird response immediatly at the beginning of the download And the download succeeds. So OP, turn off the "check before download" WARNING 10 minutes ago 11@usenet.premiumize.me: Received unknown status code 400 for ...

I did a few dozen real (smaller) downloads from usenet.premiumize.me:, and not one error, and not one traceback. (FWIW: A lot of downloads failed because of missing articles) The difference with your setup: proxmox. So ... is it caused by proxmox? Let's verify: can you run SABnzbd on a PC/Mac, and d...

I did a few test download with usenet.premiumize.me. I don't get tracebacks, but I do get the status codes 400 at the beginning of almost each download. Googling, I get "400 service discontinued". Weird. WARNING 2 minutes ago 4@usenet.premiumize.me: Received unknown status code 400 for art...

I'll send you a DM

so "Windows Portable (32bit and legacy)" ... maybe specify that "legacy" as "Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows 8" or just "Windows legacy"?

Based on your text, I think you've already googled it, right? Python 3.12 on Windows Server 2012 ... does not look hopeful at all: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/110375 ... also with pssquerysnapshot error. ... but still: you could try to install Python 3.12 on Windows Server 2012 ... does...

So a non-mainstream newsserver. The problem is this: ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: b'>\r\n' SABnzbd expects a 3-digit number back (like "211"), and converts that to an integer. However: your newsserver usenet.premiumize.me just sends a newline '\r\n'. And running int(...

Which nesserver?

why don't you use http://127.0.0.1:8080 ?
