Does it? It doesn't say if SABnzbd is running at all, if it opens IE or any other browser, what the URL is, ...

If you're referring to the number of connections to your newsserver: See Config -> Servers.

FYI: SABnzbd will only download one NZB at a time.

It looks like lightningusenet switched to another news server: sander@netbook:~$ telnet news.lightningusenet.com nntp Trying 91.223.220.12... Connected to news.lightningusenet.com.

I am not trying to argue that it is SABnzbds fault, I am currently trying to work out where the fault actually is. If you have any suggestions of how to find evidence one way of the other I will do it immediately. I would suggest that you try another RSS-feed from http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/rss-sites ...

Easy method to get an idea of my bug report with just one machine: SABnzbd: check HTTPS to ON, and remove the port number at HTTPS. Make sure http://localhost:8080/ redirects to https. Then connect to http://<LAN-IP-address>:8080/, for example http://192.168.1.53:8080/ ... it will redirect to https:...

There's a space in your "External HD" directory, but without quotes. That probably won't work. So, from the command line, try out what works: with double quotes, or with a \ before the space.

Ouch, I think I found the root cause: news.lightningusenet.com points to 195.114.242.12, which is owned by News-Service Europe B.V, which just stopped it's service: see http://tweakers.net/nieuws/77861/usenetprovider-staakt-activiteiten-na-verloren-zaak-tegen-brein.html (in Dutch) EDIT: And in Engli...

FWIW: I just got the errors below with SAB 0.6.10, with HTTPS activated. After a restart, I got more errors. It might be caused because connecting to HTTP is redirected to HTTPS, and the remote-access bug I just reported (http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9264) 2011-11-05 12:32:07,36...

SAB 0.6.10. HTTPS is on, and port is empty, so "If empty, the standard port will only listen to HTTPS.". This works when working on localhost. Connecting to http redirects to https://localhost:8080/ However, accessing SAB from a different machine (for example 192.168.1.48) on the LAN, so h...

It looks that newsserver is down:

sander@R540:~$ telnet news.lightningusenet.com nntp
Trying 195.114.242.12...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

SABnzbd uses NNTP access.

I'm not sure if this is possible, but is there any way to stop uploading from happening after/during a NZB is being downloaded? I'm on a college network that doesn't like P2P traffic, and also they ban using your MAC address. As long as I'm here, how can I be sure my MAC address doesn't get tracked...

Do you have universe and multiverse enabled as repositories? You can do it via the Software Center.

So, did you "sudo apt-get install sabnzbdplus" (which is needed), or did you download the tar-gzip-file?
