Somehow still not working for me and does start a second copy of the program.
Am i doing something wrong?

On Firefox 4.0.1
Win 7 x86

Are you using an HTTPS connection to the web interface?

Yes i do.
Well it does work kinda...

When clicking the nzb it starts another copy of the app and i have to kill them both and change the https_port in the ini.
When restarting sabnzbd the nzb is there, so it does add it.

I'm looking into this and there's something odd going on when using HTTPS and the Windows binary.
To make things hard, it only happens when you use the binary.
When debugging with the sources, all works fine.

Try running with plain HTTP, that should solve it for now.

thnx will try that.

It looks like the problem only occurs on Windows 7 (possibly Vista and Server2008 as well).
On Windows XP there seems to be no problem.

EDIT:
The real cause is this:
localhost doesn't resolve to 127.0.0.1 (IPV4) but to [::1] (IPV6)
Only Vista, Server2008 and Win7 have this, not XP.
The runtime version of Python that we use to generate the Windows binary cannot handle a "localhost" that resolves to an IPV6 address.

WORK-AROUND:
Set the host address of SABnzbd to 127.0.0.1 and not to localhost.

Advanced users may hack their host.ini file, but there could be side-effects.
