Downloading stops during large unpacking/moves

Post by Fin745 »

If the file is 60GB+ downloading stops until that finishes once the move or unpacking is done everything works perfectly. If it's less then that it doesn't stop at all.

I'm looking at my logs and I do see 2024-04-30 22:47:19,556::DEBUG::[downloader:833] Delayed - 467 seconds - Assembler queue: 19

Idk what could be causing that.

My download drive is an NVME WD Black drive and that transfers to my HDDs.

I'm using Windows 11 my CPU is a i7-13700k mobo is a MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk WiFi with 32GBs of memory.

Thanks.

Something is blocking SABnzbd from doing the read/writes it needs to.
Maybe a virusscanner? or maybe the disk's performance just really isn't good enough to do both at same time.
You could just enable "Pause downloading during post-processing" in Config > Switches, so it's a bit more controlled.
Do you have Direct Unpack enabled?
What does the Status and Interface settings window show when you run the tests?

so I made a few changes, I made every folder along the path that SABnzbd uses part of my exception rules with the windows virus scanner exceptions and I moved everything to only read and write to my NVME and let Radarr and Sonarr move it to my HDD after and so far so good.

I don't have pause enabled during post-processing on and direct unpack is enabled.

I ran disk mark and whether I used 1GiB or 64GiB it was the same thing.

Edit it seems like I can't post images lol



This is after my change to pure NVME


System performance (Pystone)
782748 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K AVX2
Download folder speed
2294.9 MB/s C:\Users\PCPC\Videos\incomplete
Complete folder speed
1640 MB/s C:\Users\PCPC\Desktop\incomplete
Internet Bandwidth
67.01 MB/s 536.08 Mbps

Yes I name the forders in different parts of the drive the same will change later, but it seems to work. 🤷

When I had it from NVME>HDD the pausing happen(incomplete NVME complete HDD), but NVME>NVME no pausing so far.

Great, seems the HDD was the bottleneck!
