How to resume from "too little disk space"

Post by enricopallazzo »

Hi,

In sabnzbd I have set "Minimum Free Space for Temporary Download Folder" in settings --> folders. The value is set e.g. to 70 GB. I have an automation that moves away downloaded and extracted content. Once the disk space has been freed up I would like sabnzbd to resume the pending downloads in the queue. Is there a setting for this or another easy solution or otherwise I probably still could script something using the APIs for example.

Regards
Ilir

Code for an autoresume function is currently being worked on; until then, resuming requires an explicit action. That action can be a human pressing a button, but also easily be scripted using the api, documentation here.

Resuming still requires an explicit action.

I still have the issue that when disk space gets too low and SABnzbd pauses the download, I have to completely restart SABnzbd for it to continue. Simply clicking on resume or similar options doesn't help.

Version: 4.5.1

Version: 4.5.1
I tested, and I can reproduce

Auto Resume is on
Put a few 10GB testfiles into SABnzbd, it started downloading ... until disk full, and thus Paused. That is half-way a 10GB download.
I freed up space on my disk, and SABnzb does see it: " 10.3 GB left 50.1 GB Free Space". Good.
BUT: even after 20 minutes, SAB is still paused, and does not unpause.

And even manually Unpausing SABnzbd does not restart the downloading.

SABnzbd stdout says:

... is SABnzbd doing something too internally?
