Yea, there's got to be a way to implement some stall detection. Even if it's something as simple as a tunable timeout vs the size of the file for sab to just mark it as failed and move on.

Or better yet, an amount of time where the download hasn't progressed after X time.

Just looked at the sabnzbd source code. I'm primarily a python developer so lucky all around that it's python!

Is there any developer documentation on files, libraries, etc.

Also a list of known problems and bugs?

This is an interesting idea . I haven't looked much at the sabnzbd source code? What language is it in? I'm primarily a python developer but know a few other languages.

Both quota and left_quota have spaces after them when they show 0, and possibly other values in both json and xml in the queue api: Version: 3.7.2 json quota: "0 " left_quota: "0 " xml <quota>0 </quota> <left_quota>0 </left_quota> This will cause many scripts and other things to ...

I created a script that ensures sabnzbd is always stable and running to fix any stalls. This works great on my ubuntu system. Adjust as needed. Update the Config options for host , port , protocol , apikey , state_file , and restart_command (if needed). The state_file config option isn't anything sp...

I do hope you might update the regex for URL detection to be a bit less restrictive. I think limiting new users from posting scripts might make us miss out on some cool stuff. Here's a potentially good one to try: /(?:(?:https?|ftp|file):\/\/|www\.|ftp\.)(?:\([-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|$?!:,.]*\)|[-A-Z0...

Whoa I haven't seen lynx used in a long time. That brings me back .

A more systemd proper way to do this is to add the following to the service file:

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 30

You would need to create your own script that checked the result of the script and reran it if you didn't get the result you wanted. Run that script in sab instead of the main one. This is a very deep topic so if you are interested in it you should look into learning python or another language.

Are you running sabnzbd from Windows or Linux? As @shypike said, you would just open a command prompt or terminal (ssh via linux) and run the script (with arguments) from there. What script are you trying to run?
