Looks like the error message on http://docs.python.org/howto/unicode.html#the-unicode-type which happens when non-USACII stuff is put into unicode() So, as you download French stuff, and it error is in gntp, is there a non-USASCII charachter in your name, or directory, or system name, or ... ? PS 1:...

What's the exact URL with 192.168.1.5 you use on the local machine?
Is there a firewall running on that machine?

What is the error message you get when you use that URL on another machine?
On that other machine, open a CMD box, and then: can you "ping 192.168.1.5"?

Well, first check out the nzgbet method I advised you ...

Are you sure it the problem is not outside the Ubuntu system, for example a router or firewall or ISP throttling the NNTP connections? A way to check that is installing nzbget: install nzbget from the repository, and follow the further instructions on http://ipv6-or-no-ipv6.blogspot.com/2011/10/easy...

If i check the connection queue it says (after a while) that the connections have timed out. So, when you click on "Test Server", you get a time-out? Can you post a screenshot of your server settings? You can erase the username; we need to see the server settings: name, port, SSL-settings...

Not really SABnzbd related, but just some fun with Wolfram Alpha to calculate the expected time to download

@shypike: It looks like the heapy() dump itself can take quite some time to generate (minutes?). During that time SABnzbd becomes unresponsive and its download slows down. Is there a way / place to do it asynchronously? BTW: I changed the code a bit: an import-check, and now a function call. import ...

Yes, I had put stuff in the queue: a few DVDs and a few BluRays. Reason: to test whether only stuff in the queue raises the memory usage. BTW: the strange thing is that 'top' is reporting that SABnzbd is already using 596 MB virtual and 149 MB 'RES' (=real, physical?) memory. Hopefully there is corr...

Here some more snippets. As said, I installed python-guppy on my Ubuntu, and I patched Part.py. Changes in SABnzbd.py: import at the beginning: import platform import time from guppy import hpy h = hpy() heapdump = h.heap() print "heapdump", heapdump logging.info('Heap dump by heapy: \n %s...

Please note: the above was my own program creating of list of int's. It's not SAB. Here's my nice stuff with SABnzbd, thanks to http://www.toofishes.net/blog/using-guppy-debug-django-memory-leaks/ : you can put just a few lines in SAB, and then from another terminal send heapy() commands In SABnzbd....

To show memory usage, I tried heapy (after a "sudo apt-get install python-guppy" and removing the assert in line 705 of /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/guppy/heapy/Part.py ), and the result is below. You can a lot of int's are junk 68% of memory, an 177 list are junk an additional 13% (adding...

Yes it worked thank you very much i really appreciate it. Now to see if i can figure out how to get couch potato to work the same way if possible. Good. Did you use the IP-address method? Then there is something you should know; after a reboot, your system can have a different IP-address. You can f...

Staat "sabnzbd.exe" not wel in het windows-taak/proces-ovezicht? Zo niet, dan draait SAB inderdaad echt niet meer. Dan zou ik het volgende doen: een CMD-box openen (Start -> 'CMD' intypen, en dan krijg je zo'n zwarte terminal), dan naar C:\program files \ sabnzbd\ (even zoeken wat de naam ...

On the computer running SAB, in SAB go to Config -> General (so probably http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/config/general/) and fillout "0.0.0.0" without the quotes at "SABnzbd Host". Then press Save, and restart SABnzbd. Then find out the private IP adress of your computer running S...

Ah, found it:

and "ulimit -d 500111 -m 500111 -v 500111" to limit SAB's mem usage to 500 MB. I don't know what happens if you do a 50GB download with those settings.
