SABnzbd on OSX already uses "nice" to tame par2 and unrar. You can tune "nice" in Config->Switches. Unfortunately OSX lacks the "ionice" to tame disk usage as well, which is very useful controlling par2 and unrar. What does "renice" add to the current support...

But even if, I wouldn't know how implement it.

Thanks for your answer.
It's definitely possible. Take a look at cloudapp : http://getcloudapp.com/.

I have a relatively powerful machine (2011 Macbook Pro 2.2 quad i7 8GB) but I still experience lag in HD media playback when SABnzbd is unpacking/repairing a download. I can manually workaround this by using the renice command to assign a low priority to the offending proccess. However, I have to do...

I'd love to be able to add NZB files by drag and dropping them on SABnzbd's menu bar icon.

that's what i was afraid of...
Thanks for your help!

Unrar unpacks from your internal disk to your external NAS. Of course this affects disk access. You can add a pause-postprocess and resume-postprocess event in the scheduler. That will prevent any post-processing during the paused hours. I believe you misunderstood me. Both SABnzbd's incomplete and...

The problem is not in the CPU probably. SABnzbd already uses "nice" to tame the CPU. It's much more likely that the disk is the bottleneck. Unfortunatey OSX has no tools to lower disk-priority. I don't think that's the case here because all my movies are on a NAS drive connected directly ...

I'm running SABnzbd on an old iMac. I'm looking for a way to limit the cpu usage of sabnzbd subprocesses when it starts to post process and unrar the downloaded files. Whenever I'm watching a movie and it starts stuttering, I know it's because SABnzbds is processing a file. I found this terminal too...

Any update on the broken config page?
Where can I find the earlier version?

Thanks a lot.

Today I wanted to change the completed download location to a folder on my NAS drive but it seems that sabnzbd only accepts folder which are inside the home directory. Is there any way to fix this? In addition, is there a way to tell sabnzbd to automatically mount the network drive if it's not mount...
