Is there any setting in Sab that allows it to download using multiple interfaces?

Post by hooman1 »

I'm running Sab 2.3.3 on Windows 8. I have internet access from two ISP's and since Windows doesn't support teaming natively in consumer OS, I had assigned same interface metric values for both the interfaces. Nzbget is using them both to download at any given time while Sab uses only one interface. Sometimes though I've seen it using both of em but it's gone after a reboot.

Is there anyway I can configure Sab to use both the interfaces to download?

Thanks in advance.

I think we can't control this, we let the Python-socket interface do it. Although I never investigated since I don't have such a setup.

AFAIK it was discussed here on this forum a few years (related to multiple IPv6 interface, AFAIK), with this result: Technically possible in Python, but too much configuration & too error prone & too much niche in SABnzbd, and let the OS/router handle it.\

EDIT:

Ah, found the discussion: 2014! See here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18156&p=96646#p96551

Thanks safihre and sander. I upgraded to Windows 10 and after assigning same metrics for all interfaces, Sab is able to use them both for downloading.

Nice. Can you share how? Useful for other users.
