SABnzbd Forums

I"m fairly new to this whole thing. I have an unRAID server, and decided on using SABnzbd. I am a little over a week into everything, and just want a little input from all the experts if possible.
I have all of my stuff setup so it is in working order, and it has been doing a pretty good job. I don't know what kind of info that I would need to give for anyone to help out so, please understand I am pretty new, and ignorant.
Like I said, everything in sab seems to be working well.
I just started downloading a series. It shows tons of choices but I'm getting 4 or 5 failed downloads for everyone completed one. Is this normal, or is there some type of setting I may need to change.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You need different newsserver on different backbones

See https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/providers/

I have Frugal us, eu, bonus, usnews. block, usenet.farm
I don't know which else to try. It mainly is for a certain series I want.

So how many different providers? 2? 3?
On how many different backbones (use the link I gave you)

Frugal is a provider, right?

I'm trying to wrap my head around it all. I'm looking but it all kind of runs together. lol. It is crazy how it all works. I've not quite got the understanding of the difference between providers and resellers I guess.

How do I download a picture in here? Is it possible. Newbies? You can't live with em, but ya can't shoot em either.

Okay, so I think I have a little (I mean little) better understanding. The names I provided are not providers, they are the servers.
So, I have these servers.
These 4 seem to be on the same backbone, but they came as a package, so nothing I could do about it. They are on the
BaseIP/HW Media backbone.
news.frugalusenet.com
eunews.frugalusenet.com
bonus.frugalusenet.com
usnews.blocknews.net (blocks)

This one appears to be on the
Its hosted backbone.
news.usenet.farm (blocks)
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
What would you add????????????????

eweka works great for me.
