Motronic posted:Does nzbget unpack during downloads? That could be a huge difference. I don't know the exact criteria required because it doesn't happen on every dopwnload, but more than half the time that's how sab does it in my setup and you can definitely see the disk i/o and cpu hit. Nzbget definitely has an unpack stage after the download completes. It will typically start downloading the next in queue while all of the file operations take place.

NZBGet also never mishandles obfuscated downloads for me, but I use decent NZB indexers. On a lark, I did try switching back to SAB (I used it for a long time when it was new). It was great, but I still just preferred Get.

I've go not horse in this race, but my point is: are you comparing sab while its unpacking during downloading the file with something that is not doing this? Because that would explain your "performant" comment. And if it's an option it sounds like one you haven't turned on, where on sab it's a default at least in my distro/repo.

Takes No Damage posted:Why look at it ever unless you're adding/removing a provider? I do almost all my manual searches through Prowlarr and in the rare event I actually download as .nzb file I just stick it in a folder SAB is watching and it picks it up in a few seconds. I don't, I'm just saying I don't love the interface. Prowlarr is the only provider setup in my sab but from time to time I will use it to grab something other than media that I've generated an nzb for from easynews' fantastic search function.

Is anybody having issues with constantly exceeding the API limit on dognzb over the last week? I disabled pretty much every monitored item and I'm still perpetually over the limit.

I happened to glance the Total Grabs count on my indexer and saw it was at 42069, and assumed the function must be broken and they just used a gag internet number, but an hour later it increased. This even tops the day the car odometer hit 80085. I think I’ve noticed that number about 5 times ever as I’m never in the profile page. That is all.

Most importantly, they've both gotten to the point where both are good enough. Even the people who have bad experiences with one or the other are usually "I can only download 200 mpbs* instead of 500 mpbs*" which is a huge difference, but 200 mbps is still very fast. *all numbers pulled directly from my rear end

Yeah, I'm sure NZBget was great and I've always heard good things, I've just always used SAB and never tried NZBget because in multiple installs, I've never had a problem with SAB. In the process of looking at things this morning, though, I did discover that while my NAS install of SAB is current, my PC's is two and a half years out of date, lol. Fixing that.

Back before I moved everything to docker I had the plush UI in it. Then one day I updated cause I was super out of date and I found out that UI wasn't updated anymore and I hated the default so much. These days everything is fully automated and the only time I open sab is to check history to see if something failed when it's not where I expect it to be so I don't care what it looks like

No matter if you use SAB or get please just make sure that what you are using is actively maintained, at least from a security perspective. You don't want, say, a malformed linux iso nzb to allow someone to get a foothold because the software has a vulnerability there or something (I have no specific examples, but it only takes once to have a very bad time) Fancy_Lad fucked around with this message at 18:33 on Jan 16, 2024 |

I haven’t been able to get SAB to saturate despite using the same config and infra as Get. I suspect that it may be using the HDD to cache instead of RAM but I could be wrong. They’re just slightly different approaches to the same problem.

There was definitely a stage around 5ish years back where NZBget was better at maxing out a fast connection but they're much the same these days.

Is there some reason I should care about the Sonarr v4 upgrade aside from it being new and shiny? I don't really have any complaints about v3 at the moment.

It replaced one of my favorite features with one I have to learn from scratch it seems, so there’s that. (The one where you can apply values to things in file names ie .AMZN. Is ranked higher than .HULU. etc. it still seems to work from what I can tell, but all the labeling is completely wrong and I’m afraid to touch anything yet).

rufius posted:Is there some reason I should care about the Sonarr v4 upgrade aside from it being new and shiny? I don't think there's any immediate reason to switch if v3 is working well for you, but you'll probably want to move off eventually as v3 won't get any more updates. V4's changelog already claims it has added hundreds of parsing improvements. The big change in v4 is moving to "Custom Formats" instead of "Preferred Words". It's basically copying radarr's methodology. Custom formats to me seem a lot more complex to deal with yourself but offer more flexibility. Using Trash's guides makes it pretty manageable.

I setup Notifiarr to sync TRaSH guides to both Sonarr and Radarr and it’s been helpful with preferred formats, groups, sizes, etc.

Upgrading to the .NET version of *arrs does make further updates more annoying on FreeBSD, as you can't update through the apps themselves anymore and are at the mercy of waiting for those updates to hit the BSD packages. For Prowlarr I was several versions behind and ended up manually downloading the package and just replacing my current install with the new files. Seems to be working OK so far but it's a pain to have to keep up with for a half dozen different apps.

I found that latest is generally pretty up to date and things rarely go boom with it, especially in a jail. I worked out this when I prodded one of the *arr port maintainers bout something, and this turned out to be my problem. If you want to be really bleeding edge you can also set up your own PKG builds for things and have them kept up to date with the ports tree, then you don't have to wait for the PKG builds to get through their multi-day backlogs when things like Firefox get updated.

norp posted:Are you using 'latest' or 'quarterly' (the default) for your pkg repo? Hey that's a good question. It's part of the install instructions on the Bazarr wiki, and when I upgraded all my jails to 13.1 I had to make the same change for Sonarr so pkg would pull v4 instead of trying to reinstall v3, I bet Prowlarr will be the same way. e: Yuuup  e2: Actually that's still not quite it, changing quarterly to latest lets pkg find 1.11 instead of just 1.10, but I can manually download 1.12 and drop it into /prowlarr/bin to get things upgraded one step further.
