You can't, it's a hard-coded limit because using more would just not make sense

The problem seems to be that SABnzbd can not keep up 100% with your speed, maybe only 95%. This also depends on article-size that the poster used, sometimes they use really small article-sizes which uses much more CPU-power to constantly switch connections. Technically you could increase article cac...

The limit is set to 3, you can change that in Config > Specials. On medium-powered system you could easily have 10 active.
Happens if you resort the queue for example, running Direct Unpackers might just hang idly if no new files are downloaded for it.

Could be that your ISP is limiting you. Wouldn't make sense otherwise.. These speeds are just to slow.
And this is with the basic settings? Not tweaked too much?
Could always try a trial at a different server, maybe Frugal Usenet?

I would suggest the following: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/faq#freshstart Then only add 1 server, go into Status and Interface settings (the wrench icon) and click the 1000MB test-download. Your system should easily get max speed on your connection, since my old i5 can maintain 1GBit speeds. In 2.3.7 t...

In your task manager, do you see "Unrar.exe" somewhere in the Details tab?

Maybe the check was too strict :/

It is stuck deleting the files, you just have to have patience and then it will complete.
Try to reduce your download speed a little bit so it doesn't have to write articles to disk, this causes a major slowdown.

Could you send me the NZB at [email protected]?

It's been harder than I thought to achieve that unfortunately.. The current layout framework isn't very flexible in that.

The FF icon means that they were added with priority Force, which means they will always download no matter what.
You should check your Category settings or your settings of the application that's sending it.

It depends also on your source, if they include files with "bad" filenames.

You can update your misc.py with this one?

I always wondered why we don't sanitize filenames (only Folders) if "Make Windows compatible" is enabled.
This is fixed now.

Oh.. I see where this goes wrong in the code..

Strange, it should be ON. But then these filenames shouldn't happen.

Looking at your log, could you enable "Make Windows compatible" in Config > Switches (enable Advanced Settings).
Its trying to create a file named

"gfrtcojzgbsdsnddg5tggm3b3dinlg" yEnc (1+1)

But maybe this is not supported on your filesystem.
