Sorry, guy.
So Ive had a download "Stuck" for a couple hours now on SAB because the warning error says Supernews "has too many connections" or some such. Not really sure what gives. It's the only thing that downloaded today.

Do you use all thirty connections? Try lowering the number a bit, they may overlap.

When sending an NZB to SAB from DOGnzb, is there a way to have it automatically categorized in SAB?

Use the plugin SABconnect++ it embeds a download arrow on the NZB websites next to the download and sends that directly to SABnzbd with the category.

I am, but it's not. Maybe it just doesn't work for certain categories.

You don't need any extra thing, dognzb already sends category information when you grab an nzb from them. In the sab Categories settings page in the Group / Indexer tags put the category with a * after it

Is there a way to separate subcategories, like ebooks and comics, rather than having them lumped into the same Books category?

I think this is the right decision, but just rather get a few more opinions in case I'm not thinking of something:

At the moment my primary XBMC client also houses 9 HDDs (mostly hanging off USB in a 2 and 4 bay enclosure), running SAB, Couch Potato and SickBeard. It's only a 2.4ghz C2D with 2GB RAM so it's not exactly the speediest thing on the planet as it is.

I've also got a ton of older beige box P4s that can hold probably around 7 HDDs internally and I think we've been able to max them out with 4GB RAM. I'm pretty sure we've got at least one or two 2.8GHZ HT models left over.

So essentially, should I turn my main client into an XBMC fronted only and move everything else onto one of these beige boxes? Also, should I put XBMC on it as well or leave it on the main client (it's running MySQL for the rest of the house). Or would now be a good time to think about moving to Plex?

Devices in the house include an Apple TV2, an iMac, a W7 PC and sometimes a Pi (least important box).

I would be worried about those old p4s being able to serve over your network with any efficiency. Plex would absolutely not run on that.

All ice cream is now for all beings, no matter how many legs.


Pentium 4's also use a ton of electricity never mind for how little work you do per CPU cycle. I was looking into reusing a P4 for that and ended up pricing out a low power usage PC, then realized it was $100 less then a Synology NAS so I just bought a Synology. I run everything off my DS1813+. It will set you back about $900 without drives but build a RAID6 and just let SAB, SB, and plex right on it. I haven't had an issue streaming from just about any device (I haven't streaming multiple things so that might give it some issues if you are hoping the NAS will do all the leg work). People report having no issues getting a Chromecast to work streaming 1080 stuff and I plan on getting one to try out with it.

You can also get a much cheaper synology it depends on how many drives you want to make use of and how much power you want it to have. A cheap NAS will not unpack files all that fast. Even mine doesn't like queuing up over 1TB of stuff for it to repair and unpack, but it only takes about 2 days including downloading. Ends up being about 8 hours longer then the download and only when you do a stupid amount stuff. Single files are super quick.

There are totally cheaper ways to do this, and you have the P4 hardware already it's just going to cost a decent bit of cash to run then 24/7 and if you want to put the drives in a RAID that is going to set you back a RAID controller (don't cheap out on a RAID controller or you could lose all your data). I mostly went with a prebuilt solution since I didn't know enough about RAID controllers and it seemed like it was only a $100 difference and wanted something that just worked, my problem could easily have been buying way more expensive RAID controller then I needed but I wanted RAID6 and it was really expensive at the time.

Have they recently gotten more aggressive about DMCA takedowns? I setup a new server for a buddy over the weekend, and he let me know that stuff was failing. Turns out I had configured the search provider in Sickbeard wrong, and these couple of episodes couldn't be found on Sickbeard's index. I fixed the provider settings and searched, but the download just goes immediately to failed "out of server's retention". He's setup on Supernews, and I added my Blocknews account to his SAB to see if it would help, but it didn't.

My astra/blocknews/tweaknews caught the same ep last night and downloaded it fine.

If you feel your C2D is too slow, it's time to buy new hardware. Running P4s is never the solution, and even C2D is wasteful compared to newer designs.

Check what version Sabnzbd is running. I was getting boatloads of failed downloads despite having decent binary availability. In my case the Debian stable repository was 0.5.3 or something close and the current is 0.7.16. Once I upgraded to the current version it cleaned all my problems up instantly.

In terms of naming of files on Usenet, such as Linux distributions:

What is the difference between Linux.LatestUbuntuVersion.RP.iso and Linux.LatestUbuntuVersion.iso without RP? The two copies are uploaded mere hours apart.

UltimoDragonQuest
Oct 5, 2011



Is RP always the newer upload? It might be non-standard naming for Repack. If a release group makes a mistake and fixes it they'll release Linux.Version.REPACK.iso. If another group fixes it the label will be PROPER.

I installed .7.17, which was the latest windows version I saw on the site. I really think it's just DMCA stuff at this point. :/

I've had pretty good results with NewsGroupDirect plus Astraweb as fills.

The way Sickbeard handles pulled/nuked files is really annoying to me. If files go down, and you reset the episode to wanted, it will happily pull down the exact same NZB file that failed the first time over and over again. Manually searching on the index sites for a replacement seems to be the only real solution at the moment but that's a pain when you're dealing with more than a handful of episodes. It would be great if it kept track of the date/time/poster of the releases it's tried to download in the past so that it can handle that situation gracefully. Maybe even tie it into the SABnzbd API somehow so that manual intervention isn't required. Alternately, it could offer a Couchpotato-style list of releases so you can manually choose a different one.

I usually just change my quality if I'm getting a ton of stuff at once. Ideally yes I'd like what I set it to but 1080 blue ray, Web, and HD are same enough that picking up 5 seasons quickly is worth having the wrong thing.

Yeah that's why I love NzbDrone, it has great automatic failed download functionality. The only time I even interact with it anymore is just adding new stuff once every few months.

It really depends on if you want to backfill the entire index and what groups you index, the headers themselves are quite small, its been a few years since I ran mine but I think a fully indexed site with all the covers/metadata is like 150gb. It used to be a chore to run it though, not sure if that has changed at all.

Have one that has been running over a year, I back filled 2-3 years worth (big nzb collection)and it is about 160gb with other various thing installed on it. Not sure on the bandwidth usage though. It is mostly automated but every month or so I end up having to fix something or add/remove some group.

I actually had sickbeard and sab both running on an RT-N16 ages ago. It worked OK but I've since moved over to a Mac Mini. Par2 repairs took maybe 5 minutes for a 400mb TV episode but anything over 4GB often crashed it.

Regarding the unrar binary I have no idea which I used but its definitely doable!

My setup in nzbget is basically Supernews (Main), Supernews EU (1st level fill), Blocknews (2nd level fill), Tweaknews (3rd level fill). Just eyeballing my past downloads I'd say less than 5% of my grabs are unrepairable. Certainly nothing "new" I have an issue with, just the odd file that is very old and/or DMCA'd to hell and back. I don't even tend to notice this with NZBDrone since its failed download functionality is automatic, its more with CouchPotato.

Just buy a big chunk of blocks once a year when they go on sale and then you don't have to worry about it for a long time.
