PitViper probably has less bandwidth to throw around. I'm in the same boat. 3 Connections does fine for me, but I'm about to switch ISPs.

Well I'm allowed 20 if I remember right, so I set 7 per server (US/EU). I never checked to see if fewer would still max my downstream, its mostly to ensure I don't accidentally try and use more connections than I'm allowed. And I do only have 30mbit service, as well.

I see. PitViper posted:I use frugalusenet as my primary, with blocknews and tweaknews as backup sources for anything older. I also have the EU server for frugal set, and just cut connections on each to a third of my max allowed. I very rarely get anything that doesn't download properly, and it's significantly cheaper than my old newshosting + blocknews setup. The way this was worded, it sounded like you might mean that because you had multiple servers configured you thought you needed to reduce your max connections on each.

I reduce the number of connections on the more expensive backup block servers to 1. My theory is I do it so the cheaper servers would see more fill action, although I don't honestly know if it accomplishes anything. Really wish SAB had priority for backup servers... One of these days I guess I should stop being lazy and give nzbget a shot.

It took me an hour or so of going back and forth with support to get this corrected. This is yet another reason to avoid them.

Thermopyle posted:I see. Sorry. I should have clarified that I'm using a single frugalusenet account, which allows 30 connections, but using both the US/EU servers as separate entries in SAB. Assuming it tries to use both at the same time (which is doesn't, the US server has roughly 2.5 times the total transfer vs the EU server in my list) I didn't want to exceed my maximum allowed connections per account. I just noticed that I am allowed 30 connections, but 7 seems to be plenty to max out my downstream.

visuvius posted:Often times the same item is posted twice with the exact same name, like it won't even say "RP". When using the RSS function in sabnzbd, is there any way to make it only download one of the two posts? I see how to exclude stuff but I'm not sure how to exclude duplicates. Anyone got a solution for this? In general, do you guys have any tips for using RSS to automate downloads?

If you want to stop subsequent downloads with the exact same name as something you've already downloaded or already have in queue what you need to configure SAB's Detect Duplicate Downloads setting on the switches page. E: Blimey.

Trying to check out this newfangled usenet thing all the cool kids use, but I'm not sure exactly what I need to do. I got a free account at Xsusenet and I'm trying to configure SABnzbd but so far the server free.xsusenet.com just times out. isitdownorjustme.com says the server is unreachable, is that just a thing that happens sometimes or am I doing something wrong? Also in terms of general Usenet setup from the OP, my Usenet provider is Xsusenet and my newsreader is SAB, later on do I just add some of the free options from the Usenet Indexer list for Xusenet to use? I'm still not clear on how those 3 things all fit together.

It took me months to figure this out, but you have to sign in to the xsusenet site and do...something before the free account is active. I don't remember what, though.

Keep in mind that the free Usenet account there has a speed limit on it. Most of us just use that for binary availability to fill in missing segments of files. It's useful to see how Usenet works but it's not an end solution.

What is the current most Goon Approved method of using Sickbeard with Usenet, but also with Torrents for the stuff Usenet doesn't receive? I used ThePirateBay fork of SickBeard for a while now but I am ready to build a new "server" and was wondering what's considered the newest method since what I am doing is outdated according to all the threads I am reading.

The reason is content owners requesting DMCA takedowns of the files. The providers then break the files just enough that the files can't be repaired. The only way to really combat this is to have a second provider (usually a block plan) as a backup. You'll never be 100% safe from DMCA takedowns though.

I could get another provider but I'm not even sure how that would work configuration wise.

All you do is add the second server the same way you added the primary. There is an option to add it as Backup.

g0del posted:Not to knock Blocknews, but that 365 days retention is only for the website. NNTP retention is over 2000 days for Easynews too, and they only count half your download when you use NNTP. They also use a different backend providers, so it works well to use one as a backup for the other. This is exactly what I do and hardly ever run into trouble, apart from the occasional "Invalid par2 files, cannot verify or repair" which 95% of the time is fine when I just run it through QuickPar. My question: I'm thinking of switching from Sickbeard, does NZBDrone or any other service handle meta data, like MetaGenerator? I like all my TiVo programs to look similar on the My Shows screen, whether they're from the computer or just regular TiVo, and I feel like there's probably a much easier/automated solution out there and really I've just been lazy in looking.

NZBDrone supports metadata for Roksbox, WDTV, MediaBrowser and XBMC. So if you use one of those, or one that supports one of those style of metadata, then yes.

Is there any word on Sickbeard adding something for failed downloads? I'm 100% happy with my setup and don't want to switch it up because of one tiny thing, but the occasional failed download is super annoying.

I don't consider failed download support a tiny thing. It is a major feature IMHO. If you mostly like Sickbeard I think that a fork called SickRage has failed download support. Personally I'm switching to NzbDrone.

Diviance posted:SABnzbd works fine or NZBGet works fine, whichever one floats your boat. Thank you! I switched to NZBDrone. However, the lack of torrent support is going to be a problem because one of the shows (it airs daily) that I watch is never on usenet, it's always only on TPB. Should I just install TBP fork of SickBeard, leave it just for torrents, and have NZBDrone handle the rest (things that are on usenet)?

I meant tiny in the sense that I'd have to change my entire setup in order to compensate for something that happens maybe once or twice a week, and isn't that big of a deal. I'll look into SickRage, thanks.

I am trying to use NZBDrone but it cannot seem to find episodes that aired as early as yesterday. I only have Wombles and NZBplanet enabled (all others require payments for API keys) so I was wondering if anyone used anything else that could do a decent search? Or am I basically not going to get search enabled for free?
