Hi, When Sabnzbd downloads and extracts files from the internet, how dangerous are included viruses and other malware? Is any program contained in the rar file executed when extracted? I ask this as I have had some troubles using Sabnzbd during the last few weeks. And now I'm considering to start Sa...

First of all, let me state I rely appreciate what SABNZBD does. And I might sound paranoid, but with computer safety, am I paranoid enough? The reason I post this is the warning Kaspersky seems obliged to give. From the forum of another program I use in conjunction with SABNZBD (FTD) I got the respo...

Hi,

At the moment I'm trying out Kaspersky Anit-Virus. When I start up SABNZBD+ it complains about SABNZBD+ starting up a PDM.DBS query. Might I ask what this is, and where SABNZBD+ uses it for?

Hello, It has been some time since I got this answer from Switch (thanks by the way): Check how many connections are set up for your server under config>servers. If you do indeed have 6 set, then I would try the following in order: 1) Increase the timeout value from 120 to 300 for your server (confi...

Thanks for  your reply. In the end I deleted the complete directory with download files. After that I could delete the download from the SABnzbd list. On your suggestion to add it to my shortcut launcher, would that be a "C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe --clean" as target of the link ...

Do you always terminate SABnzbd nicely *(i.e. using the shutdown menu item)?

I even press 'Pause' before I press 'Shutdown'. It might have been caused by a hickup at the usenet provider. Thanks anyway.

Does it happen for every NZB file? Have you tried to remove all entries from the queue? As a last resort, start up the SABnzbd.exe program with the --clean parameter. This will remove the queue and the download history. Starting with --clean seems to have helped. My SABnzbd+ is happily chugging awa...

Hi, I do not know what causes me not being able to download anything. I think I installed 0.4.11 last weekend, and since then I was not lucky with what I downloaded. Might that be caused by SABnzbd+? I have a list of DVD's ready to be downloaded. As soon as a DVD gets top position it's Remain/Total ...

Hi, Windows XP - SABnzbd+ 0.4.11 My server complains about that 'Only 6 connections [are] allowed. Please set "Reset hanging connections after 120 seconds"'. I was looking through the configuration of my SABnzbd, but could not find out where to do that. Where hould I 'reset haning connecti...

I do appreciate you help, but the problem popped up again today. I started a download, and the unrarring is still busy. The download ended at 15:59. The logfile states it completed decoding at 16:24:53,890. The _UNPACK_ directory is created at 18:09, and at 19:46 SABnzbd+ is still chugging along. I ...

Hi, After a complete reinstall of my operating system I noticed SABnzbd does not shutdown automatically when it has finished downloading and unpacking what I want it to download. Anyone know what happened? Macamba PS: Version: 0.4.9 OS: Windows XP SP3 Install-type: that would be the Windows Installe...

Is the job on the edge of the retention period of your provider? No. It was one day old. And as far as I could see, everything was available. Do you use multiple servers? Some providers take a very long time before admitting that they do not have an article. No. Only one. But it used 3 groups. It i...

Hi, At the moment I'm downloading a DVD, which takes ages. To be specific, the last DVD finished at 14:45:42. Now it is 19:30. So this DVD(5) took about 5 hours to download about 25%. Might this be a DVD that got corrupted on purpose?  :o Like they do with torrents? >:( Macamba Edit - Some data: Ver...

I suspect that the cache got corrupted. SNIP You should be able to start using the command line parameter --clean You will use active downloads and the history. I got it working again, by reverting to the old directories. But if I understand what you are saying I need to execute the following steps...
