Thanks for the info.

Yea, it eventually dies off, but it seems to take far longer than I'd like.

Is there a way to abort a download after a user defined amount of missing articles or when a download falls to a minimum speed? I've found that downloads seem to gum up my queue when they're below the hardset missing limt (no idea what that is) but still able to download. For example, I have a 17 MB...

Thanks buddy :-) I've used SAB for years and never noticed that setting in the config file.

Yep that's it! Thanks!

Any way to get the logs into one big file though?

I have a lot of RAM in my system (16 GB dual channel DDR3 in my NAS and 20 GB triple channel DDR3 in my desktop) and I was wondering if there was a way to stop SAB from creating mutliple log files and just create one huge log file? For example, I'm setting up SAB on my new FreeNAS build and it will ...

I have 500 GB worth of archives that didn't unpack, but are fine when I do it manually (they were all failing so I turned 'unpack check' off). Is there any way to force SAB to unpack them all? It's 510 folders.... edit: figured it out myself. I just copied the folders back into my "incomplete&q...

Flipping that switch seemed to fix the problem.

I'm having the same issue with version 0.7.18 on Manjaro Linux. Everything will download correctly but SAB fails to extract it/mark it as successfully completed because it is looking for a filename which doesn't exist (which isn't there any way when I check later after it fails). If I manually extra...

Yea, it's a really odd problem. Maybe the HDD in this laptop is slower/worse than the one in her old laptop, who knows.

She lives two hours away so I couldn't tell you right now, but from what I remember, it wasn't that high. Just the disk activity was high.

The odd thing is that Sabnzbd worked perfectly fine on her old laptop which was about 5 years old (Core2duo I believe with 4 GB DDR2 probably) and running Windows 7. I was using an ethernet connection and would get around 7 MB/sec. IIRC her article cache size was at 200 MB, I'll tell her to increase...

Is anyone aware of any problems Sabnzbd may have with Windows 8.1? My girlfriend just bought a new Asus laptop with a Core i5, 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 1 TB HDD and it runs fine as long as Sabnzbd isn't downloading anything, once Sabnzbd starts downloading a lot of things the HDD activity spikes and ...

I'm trying out NZBget now and it is very low resource compared to SAB (only around 10%) but I'm not sure how I feel about it because it seems to take a while to realize that the file can't be completed.

I just noticed that the amount of items that you have in your queue directly affects your download speeds. I was getting pissed off because I was getting speeds of 200 KB/sec to 2 MB/sec on my NAS, when I would get 6.8 MB/sec on my PC. After some reading and limiting my connections down to 1 it didn...
