SABnzbd Forums

I am using the latest stable version of SABnzbd, I run SABnzbd on Windows 10, the connection to my servers is just fine and I have reinstalled SABnzbd entirely and reset all the settings.

I have looked everywhere, I even tried NZBGet. I CANNOT get it to download without telling me "Aborted, cannot be completed". I've looked at the post everyone is likely going to link, it didn't help me.
I'm using sonarr to send the downloads to SABnzbd. I really don't know what to do, I'm out of sensible thoughts.

Which post & link is that?

The downloads cannot be completed wiki post, I am unable to post a link.

Ah, I see.

I have something better for you:

In SABnzbd's upper right corner, click on the wrench symbol ("Status and interface options"), then click on first tab Status, and there click on "Test download" 100MB or 1000MB.

What is the result?

It is currently downloading, although very slowly.

It has completed downloading with no issues.

Good. That means your setup is correct.

If you get "Aborted, cannot be completed" on other downloads, and https://sabnzbd.org/not-complete does not help you, there is little I can do for you.

Just checking: from that URL "Use another or an additional newsserver that is not using the same backbone." ... so how many different newsservers have you defined, and which? And how do they map against https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/providers and https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... kbones.svg ... in these days you should dave a few different newsservers on different backbones.

I currently have Newsdemon and Newsgroupdirect, would it be wise for me to then get something like Vipernews?

Right now I'm wondering how 0 out of 24 of the things I'm attempting to get are ALL not available while I have 2 Usenet providers, do I need like 10?

according to https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/providers

newsdemon: on HW Media
newsgroupdirect: on UsenetExpress

So that looks good to me.

You could try the SABnzbd sponsor https://www.newshosting.com/usenet/part ... d&chan=hc2

or find a cheap block account.

No, not 10 newsservers.

Are those 24 downloads related: one movie, one series?

They are one season of a series. I would also like to apologize if my responses seem agitated. I've been trying to make sonarr work properly for almost a week now.
Don't you think it's weird that all my downloads are failing, I believe if I get newshosting the same will happen.

Just got a free Usenet farm trial, still the exact same.

I am now also getting an error regarding importing.

This is the reality of usenet and why we have programs like Sonarr. When configured correctly and with about 2-5 indexers configured in Sonarr. It will just try downloads, if they fail, try the next one.
You do have to have Failed download handling turned on in Sonarr(!).
I am able to get almost everything this way with 2 severs. And sometimes, yes, it will take sonarr maybe 4 tries per episode, but it gets it in the end.
