Have you filled in the username and password you got from newshosting? And if so, did you fill it out correctly in SABnzbd?

So ... what happens if you lower it to 10? It won't lower your download speed, because your Internet connection is probably an 'earlier' bottle neck.

And what do you mean with "2 servers"?

Yes. But first make your SABnzbd working without any error messages.

OK. And you are actually and successfully downloading stuff?

If so:

If you want to proceed to RSS, star a seaparate thread; RSS is not part of the wizard
