...found a workaround that I'd like to share. In SABnzbd's folder settings, you can pick a folder that is monitored by SABnzbd. Whenever an NZB file is downloaded into that folder, SABnzbd imports it and starts the resp. Usenet download. Bonus: the NZB file is deleted afterwards.

So you are saying that your NZB files actually do start SABnzbd after being downloaded by Safari on Catalina?

Could you please send me that plist file I mentioned in my opening post? just for verification purposes!

That would be very nice!
Thank you in advance!

Otherwise SABNZBD works perfectly!

Hey everybody, up until macOS Mojave, an NZB file that was downloaded by Safari would be started by SABnzbd. This ceased to work with Catalina. On Mojave, the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DownloadAssessment.plist could be edited to auto-start NZB files that were downloaded by Safari, but tha...

Ah, ok, now I see what you mean... I'll check my drives about that some time. Thank you!

Sorry, I'm not sure if I follow.... what do you mean by "4K read/write performance"?

Yes, I didn't specifically report that it was an external drive because I never would have thought that an external drive could be the problem just BECAUSE it is an external drive as long as its nominal speed (in my case read/write 410 MB/s each) is basically high enough.... It really seems one lear...

OK, after digging deeper into my problem over the weekend I was finally able to isolate it. In my case, SAB and its 50 connections to my Usenet provider was not the problem at all, neither is my CPU power (Intel i5 late 2015 which never went beyond 50-60% system load) or anything related - the bottl...

OK, thanks for your help, I'll try decreasing the number of connections first. I think I actually have 30 or even 50 connections set...

Say I wanted to play around with higher cache settings nevertheless, how do I get past that 4G limit?

Thanks again!

Hi everybody, I have quite a fast internet connection (Gigabit speed) that gives me approx. 110 MB/s in SABnzbd (latest stable version on latest macOS 10.14.3, iMac late 2015 with i5 CPU and 24 GB RAM). I have set the article cache to 4G which I believe is maximum (higher inputs still end up with ju...

...I see. Thanks for acknowledging anyway!!

There was an osx update at about the same time this issue started. Maybe it has something to do with it? ??? That's exactly what I thought, but then again, all other web links (from e-mails etc.) open in Safari perfectly fine as always (if Safari is set as your standard browser), so I've been wonde...

Hi there, as of today, sabnzbd always opens in Firefox instead of Safari on my iMac (latest macOS version) - even though Safari is set as the default browser in macOS settings! I tried changing the macOS standard browser back and forth, but it always opens in Firefox. I also tried toggling the "...
