SABnzbd not downloading on seedbox

[sander]

As your system has no telnet, but I still want to see the NNTP response, can you run the python code below? Put the code in a file ("nntp-test123.py"), and run it? All of course on the feralhosting seedbox.

Code: Select all

import telnetlib
HOST = "newszilla.xs4all.nl"
tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST,119,5)
response = tn.read_until("\n",5)
print response
tn.write("help\n")
response = tn.read_until("\n",5)
print response
tn.write("quit\n")
print tn.read_all()

Furthemore, in the SABnzbd web interface, have you looked at Status? So:

Latest Warnings
Show Logging
Connections (when there is something in the queue)

[sander]

And: is "nzbget' installed on your feralhosting system?

Sorry for picking up this old thread, but I got the same problem.

Running the nntp gives me out this:

I had nzbget installed, afaik didn't get it running cause I would need root access at one point (is a long time ago, I don't remember exactly). But yesterday I deleted the nzbget folder, didn't make a difference.
One interesting point: I had it 2 or 3 times, that it downloaded a file. Don't know why. Next time I tried, I had the same problem.

The config is more or less the same like at home (changed folder names and some details like in afterprocessing), but here downloading is fine.

Thanks for your help in advance

I've never seen any reports that SABnzbd was succesfully running on feralhosting. So I'm assuming that that is impossible ... maybe ferralhosting blocks binding SAB's webserver to any port? Oh: Looking forward to someone who proves SABnzbd does work on feralhosting ... ;-(

Getting NZBget to work does not need any root-rights or webinterface-port-bindings, so that might work.
After installing NZBget, running NZBget only needs two commands. See http://ipv6-or-no-ipv6.blogspot.nl/2011 ... -1110.html

So you could try that on ferralhosting. If even that does not work, you still want usenet downloading and Ferralhosting is not helping, hire a cheap VPS from a cheap VPS provider ... that works for me.

Hm, I hoped, that maybe someone would find out what the exact problem is, so that I could contact feralhosting. They won't support, okay, but if I could say exactly what they should do, maybe that would work.

Anyway, I give it a mew try with NZBget, but SABNZBd would be much nicer. We had NZBget on a root server, but in comparison to SAB it's crap...

But thanks for your reply!

Are you using "check before download" in Config->Switches?

[Goldtown]

No, I'm not using this. And the problem appears with new and old NZBs
