Invalid server address

[philjones85]

I just installed the Ubuntu 10.10 in a virtual machine, installed sabnzbd from apt-get after installing ppa:jcfp/ppa, but every time I try to add a server, it says 'Invalid server address'.  This worked fine for my in a different virtual machine, but I notice that machine is using sabnzbdplus 0.6.0-beta3.  The new one is using 0.6.0-beta4, which appears to have been released 2 days ago.  Any chance that's the issue?  I'm copying the info copy-paste style from the old sabnzbd.ini file, so the values should be correct.

It only says "invalid server address" when you click "Test Server", doesn't it?
This is (alas) a new error in B4, will be fixed in next release.

Great!  Glad its a known issue and will be resolved without anymore work from me   Any idea when the next release is expected to be out?

Depends a bit on what people report.
So far nothing truly serious has come up.
Although this one is rather irritating, it doesn't hinder normal usage.

I also encounter this problem... I install and re stalled. Created and new user on windows and same case invalid server? news.hosting.com port 119, 563, 80 and yes I quad checked my user id and pass... even read the sabnzbd.ini to confirm settings.

I am now back to running sabnzbd on my wife computer? Waiting for a fix!

Wishlist : growl API key support. I want to be notified of completion in my home group list of computers or devises.

frogman. Only the server test button fails.
Normal downloading works.

hmm I didn't see any downloads in que... What I did find was the windows installer version was the version that didn't allows connections or test! The beta version that was .rar I down loaded in exacted in my download folder, and  started sabnzbd from there, and everything started to work.. hmm..

Beta 4
windows x64

All distribution types contain the same software.
There is no SABnzbd distribution in a RAR file.
