Auto Pause LARGE NZBs

Post by methanoid »

Is it possible to auto pause large NZBs when added?

I have a hard limit on file sizes I can store in cloud and would love to be able set that in SAB to auto pause so I can download those elsewhere to store.

So: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/scripts/pre-qu ... %2050MB%3A

"A python script to set prio to Force on downloads smaller than 50MB:" ... you need to change a few parameters to get what you want. Are you able to do that?

Another method: auto-sort on size, so that the smallest always put first in the queue. That's a built-in feature of SAB
