On my system, commenting out the following code in sabnzbd/downloader.py around line 487 (first introduced in this commit ) causes download speed to go up significantly: # Why check so often when so few things happend? if len(readkeys) >= 8 and len(read) < len(readkeys)/4: time.sleep(0.05) Thanks, ...

Sure, I can get to it just fine. Please, tell me what to do!

In 1.1.0 we chose tuning parameters that turn out to be non-optimal for some low-CPU systems. In 1.2.0, we'll change that and also look at optimizations that benefit such systems. Thanks. My system is hardly low-CPU, though. It's Synology DSM 6 inside a VM, with 4x i7 980X virtual CPU's, and 4G RAM...

Ever since I upgraded my (Synology) Sabnzbd to 1.1.0 [8abcf08] (upgraded from 1.0.3), download-performance seems to have been cut in half. I used to download at ca. 4.8 Mbps, and now it's never higher than ca. 2.6 Mbps. I have 2 servers at priority 0, both with 8 connections defined. Lowering those,...

What helps on some systems is to set Config->Special->use_pickle to 1 and restart. It is obvious that there is an issue in the Python libraries, which we cannot solve. Using the special option makes SABnzbd use another (less efficient) method of saving its administration. This could fix the memory ...

I too am experiencing *huge* memory loss, using SABNzbd 1.0.3 [927ba3c] (on Synology). Memory consumption can easily grow over 1G (and never gets returned), after which I have to restart the process. Seems the Synology version is Python based (which is what probably accounts for the huge memory loss...

Are these posts without par2 files? OIr with most of the par2 files missing? To play safe, we set the threshold just above 100%. You can change that threshold in Config->Specials. No, they all had plenty (non-corrupt) par files. After disabling the option, and rescheduling the jobs (this was necess...

Ah, thank you kindly!

There's gotta be someone who knows this.

Also, is there any good reason why SABnzbd, running as service, wouldn't be able to read its own config file on restarts?

Running 1.0.3, whenever I enable the 'Check before download' option, all downloads fail, with the warning: "Download might fail, only 100.0% of required 100.2% available" Retrying makes no difference. P.S. Wouldn't be at all surprised if this is related to the 'Download all par2 files' opt...

Just a quick noob question.

Do you need to update the service for *every* config change you make? (Like to some switches). Like running:

SABnzbd-service.exe -f "C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd" --server 0.0.0.0:8080 update

Thanks.

Get a decent payserver maybe?

Really loving the 'Night' template! But it isn't always updating its 'Free space' counters (pressing F5 doesn't count).

Tell it to exclude the "incomplete" folder.

Good thinking. Thanks!
