However, RAID is rather wasteful for storing files for just minutes. The redundancy overhead is wasteful for short-lived discardable files. GREAT POINT! Were it simply a striped array perhaps it would make sense but since it is RAID6, I'm needlessly increasing disk activity. You are bang on -- than...

Thanks for the info Shypike -- with more rooting around I see that indeed the default config of Par2 is using the MacPar deluxe engine that's optimized for Snow Leopard. Maybe we could ask that the docs be updated to reflect this and reduce any confusion for future users? I'm sure you must get tired...

Thanks for the update. If you search for "SABnzb+ freeze" you will see a few discussions pop up (dating back to 2009) regarding OS X and Par2 multi-core oddness; some seem to speculate about the state of Par2 vis-a-vis OS X and the latest SAB release -- I knew you would be able to provide ...

After more research I have narrowed it down to Par2. I am running OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and using the default version. I'm unclear on a few things with regard to Par2 other than the fact I need to name whatever version I use to "Par2-sl" : 1. Does the latest version of SAB come with m...

Great idea. I'll dust off Transmission and we'll see how it goes...

For the record, I'm pretty sure the issue is unique to my system... If anyone can help me figure out how to get SABnzbd+ cranking again, it's you guys... I really appreciate the expert help.

Just finished running memtest -- passed with 100%

What else can should I start looking at for clues? Previous posts about similar issues seemed to have been addressed with code revisions -- not sure what else to try...

Cheers.

After going for a bit limited at 1000k I bumped it up to 3000k and got the lock up again. Thank you for the memtest ISO suggestion -- mac should boot it no problem, especially since I'm already running rEFIt. Btw, not sure it matters but I am using SSL. UPDATE: Just locked up in a session that was c...

SABnzbd+ barely touches the CPU -- the issue I'm having is from a "hang" that then causes the whole system to hang... similar to when an NFS mount goes stale and all the processes relying on it just halt. I tried taking Chrome out of the picture in case that was the culprit -- but no chang...

Thanks for the quick reply! Agreed -- it shouldn't be freezing my system at all... especially after working so well for so long! I've just increased my cache from 200M to 8G (hello!) -- I'm working with 16GB or RAM so I figured I might as well put it to work! ;) The host computer is a dual-quad mac ...

Hello all, First let me say, I love SABnzbd+ -- amazing work. Since moving (i.e. changing Broadband providers) I'm noticing that each time I run SABnzbd+ 0.7.3 on my Mac (OS X 10.6.8) My system FLAT OUT FREEZES -- only to be solved by a HARD reboot. In particular, I'm noticing after I let SAB run fo...
