SABnzbd Forums

I am using oznsb and have a 100 download limit per day.

Sabnzbd doesn't care about this limit. It will try download as many files sent too it or retrieved from a cart.

It appears that any file over 100 gives up an error: Warning: Empty NZB File (with a bunch of info including a link) and those downloads are now lost. You can't tell by the error what particular file you are not getting, and it appears there are no links to re-enable the NZB download at another time (e.g. re-send to the queue the next day)

So my question is multi:

1. Is there a way to manually send this NZB back to the queue?
2. Is there a way to increase the warning log beyond 20?
3. Is there a better way to handle this?

I would have hoped that once I reached my daily limit the files would simply queue up, but it seems oznzb counts a download at the time the nzb is retrieved and processed, not after the actual file is completed its download.

OZNzb should give info about the rate limiting so that SABnzbd know how long to wait.
Please ask this on the OZnzb forum, because I know they do support SABnzbd.
I'm surprised that it doesn't work.

Yup, I posted it over there.

The answer I got back so far was to upgrade my account so I didn't hit the 100 download a day limit.

Hopefully someone interested in solving it will see it and find a fix.

I'm still curious about #1 and #2 though.... thats sabnzbd specific.

#1: Not needed if OZnzb implements compatible rate-limiting.
#2: there's a log file in your user profile. It can be downloaded from the Status page.
#3: Not needed if OZnzb implements compatible rate-limiting.

Since #1 had already happened, I found an easy way to re-inject them... well not easy but workable.

I copied the entire screen of empty NZB errors and pasted into an email message. The links turned into hyperlinks, and I was able to click on each one and re-download.

I know I wouldn't need it if the server were handling it correctly but since the problem had already happened I still needed to find a solution. Unfortunately since it only holds 20 and I had gone over by 50 some, I'll never know which files I didn't get... oh well.
