SAB stops working + no internet connectivity

Post by anti5580 »

Hi,

Not sure if anyone can help, the issue below has been ongoing for the past few months.

When I add a new TV show in to Sonarr, it sends all the episodes to be downloaded over to SAB fine. The queue itself can be rather large however after a while the downloads will stop, downloaded episodes are paused from extracting and the internet connectivity will be lost.

The only way I can resolve this is by restarting the computer and everything will resume for another few minutes until it happens again.

Downloading the odd episodes works fine, anything more than 5 will cause the problem above.

Any advice to resolve this would be great.

Sounds like a hardware / network problem.

SAB will hammer a network connection. With a bad network setup, that will cause problems. Can be local on the machine, or your modem/router.

Also possible: your ISP blocking that traffic.

Easy check #1: as soon as SAB loses network connectivity, from that machine, can you still "ping 1.1.1.1" with good result ... ?
Easy check #2: as soon as SAB (or that machine) loses network connectivity: from another device on your LAN ... is there still network connectivity?
Easy check #3: what if you limit the number of newsserver connections to 1 ... does it still happen?
