SABnzbd only downloads when Priority is "Force"

Post by justcurry »

I upgraded to El Capitan yesterday and not sure why, but downloads do not work unless I change the priority to "Force." Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks.

Make sure SABnzbd isn't paused?

Yep, it's not paused. Not sure what the deal is. Changing the priority doesn't always assure download. I've also installed the beta 0.8.0. Tried uninstalling and then re-installing it. Maybe I did something wrong like hitting "pause" or some similar setting? Not really sure.

I tested on two Beta's of El Capitan.
Haven't done the final version yet.
It seems unlikely that the cause is El Capitan though.
Have you checked the Scheduler too?

I looked at the Scheduler and have no schedules (never set one up). Just a quick note, I didn't install the 0.8.0 until I couldn't get the previous version to work (not that I'm having much luck with the Beta either).

Okay, it works, but it doesn't work immediately, so that sort of surprised me. I just have to be patient and wait for the d/l to start. Sorry about wasting your time, Shypike.

You are on beta1, right? This delay might be due to a problem in load-balancing that we fixed for Beta2.
Try going to Config > Switches and then switch Load-balancing to Prevent load-balancing.

Safihre, just changed the configuration and the delay is still present.Yes, this is Beta1. It's about a 5 min delay.

Update: When I change to "prevent load balancing," things were really slow in terms of download. I switched it back and even though there's a delay, the speeds were back to normal. I wasn't very scientific in the testing method, only using the same file both times.

Try the other option: Allow load balancing.

Just switched it and still a delay. Loaded up a file and waiting to see if it downloads and at what speed.

I can't think of a connection between "Forced" and Load-Balancing. To rule that out further: @justcurry: which newsserver exaclty (so: blabla.bla.com) are you using?

Did you set the Logging to +Debug, and inspect the sabnzbd.log? Could you post it?

Do you want the whole log for the last file? There's a delay after a file is uploaded. I set it to debug and just grabbed a file. The "Force" thing doesn't work. I just have to sit around and wait till it's good and ready to start the d/l.

OK, force not involved. Good to know. Change subject?

Code: Select all

$ host news-eu-ssl.newsgroupdirect.com
news-eu-ssl.newsgroupdirect.com is an alias for de.sslusenet.com.
de.sslusenet.com has address 81.171.118.146
de.sslusenet.com has address 81.171.118.147
de.sslusenet.com has address 81.171.118.148
de.sslusenet.com has IPv6 address 2001:4de0:401:7::147
de.sslusenet.com has IPv6 address 2001:4de0:401:7::146
Ah, then the Beta1 bug (my fault!) - and a problem on your system - indeed is causing this. Workaround: use IPv4 address (ie 81.171.118.146) instead of the name for the newsserver. Solved in the upcoming Beta2 (and in the current git version).

So it stopped working with SAB 0.7.20 on El Capitan?

Worth considering: IPv6 behaviour, as your newsserver is IPv6 enabled and El Capitan is more IPv6 minded: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/12 ... r_to_ipv6/

But first try the workaround I gave you.
