OS X and SABNZB constantly wakes my iMAC

Post by glenn »

I have an iMac 10.5.6 running and power setting to 5 mins monitor off. While SABNZB is running the power off never goes off. (Ive verified it's SABNZB) I also set the hot corner to sleep display and if SABNZB is on it closes for about 10 seconds and it turns on the screen again.

Is there any way to fix this? I leave the machine all all day but I do not wan't the screen running all day!!!!

I think there is some kind of refresh running that checks or does something ever 10 seconds or so causing this?

Thanks in advance.

Glenn

Well I found out the problem and I would like to report this for anyone else having the issue.

In settings for SabNZB you need to pick a different location for the search folder if left blank (it will check the desktop) and it constantly does a refresh or something ot the desktop. Once I made the search check downloads it fixed the issue.
