Interesting... I'm starting to think that the various flavours of *nix are mainly hindered by the lack of a standard availability of Python 2.7, which forces various packages to be modified to work properly. I wonder how many 'native' executables are used in SABnzbd to overcome various problems that...

Thanks for the suggestions, but I do see a few issues. I see no reason to combine packages. Why would people download an oversized ZIP file and then unpack it? The actual file wouldn't be too big for most users, I think, but for Mac users it used to be common practice to do that, but then again, I ...

This is merely a suggestion for future releases. 8) IDEA: - Distribute two packages for all platforms, one for source installs, one for binaries. One package would then contain Windows, Mac OS, and Linux binaries. The combined distribution simplifies the downloads, and updates can be distributed on...

Better to be absent than to sit behind a computer all day waiting for a download that isn't working . It appears that 0.7.1 works a whole lot better on 10.7.4 on multiple levels. As if this version was written for Lion and the other version for Snow Leopard, with Rosetta.

Although I cannot test with the specific server, Google shows that news.internode.on.net shows these problems for more users, using different software. news.internode.on.net is an alias for some astraweb.com servers. All IP addresses (using OpenDNS 208.67.222.222) appear to be valid and responsive, ...

This is actually a request for an addition to the front-end. When a download shows hiccups, i.e. not constantly showing the same speed, I would like to know whether this is caused by files being unavailable, or network speed problems. By adding a Quality of Service flag to the front-end, SABnzbd co...

Quick tip: Check the number of CONNECTIONS that SABnzbd uses (Config->Servers: Connections). I have had this problem with servers that allowed an X number of connections, but reserved 2 for extra commands, with a time-out of a couple of seconds. This is to prevent clients from spamming, or DOS atta...

CPU: MacMini 3,1 - 2.26GHz - 4GB OS: Mac OS X 10.7.4 SABnzbd: 0.7.0 IP: IPv4, using the local IP address Extra info: Firewall: ON , Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections: ON , other settings: OFF. Problem: Each time when SABnzbd starts after log-in, Mac OS X asks permi...

Meer details zou kunnen helpen: - Welk IP adres + poort heb je ingesteld in de config? - Is het IP adres rechtstreeks aan de 'server' gekoppeld, of zit er nog een router (met NAT) tussen? - Gebruikt de router/gateway ook specifieke access rules? Nota bene : zonder access filtering met een DMZ werkt ...

When changing the permissions to "" in the general settings, the result in the sabnzbd.ini file did not change, hence the manual edit.

The following is for Mac OS X and Linux/Unix users of the current version [0.7.0Beta3] Tested on Mac OS X with SABnzbd version [0.7.0Beta3], with logging on 'Debug' The system's chmod command has various options and return values that can be used easily within shell scripting. When using other prog...

Another addition to the request:

Different versions of SABnzbd use different locations to store the sabnzbd.ini. I wouldn't know where it could be found on Windows Vista for instance. It would be nice if SABnzbd would take care of the backup/restore instead of an external script.

Update:

I noticed SABnzbd makes only one backup of the .ini file at this moment. My request would be an extension of this feature with a rollback function to restore old settings.

Not yet, it involves some changes: - First of all, SABnzbd has to rewrite the sabnzbd.ini file each time it starts, to make sure the first lines are correct, or at least check the first line and compare it with the current (running) version of SABnzbd. - Second issue will be that a 'file list' has t...

The option would be more like: if # test file date and version here cp ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini ~/.sabnzbd/backup/sabnzbd.ini-`head -n1 ~/.sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini|cut -c3-11` fi Where the first line of sabnzbd.ini would be something like: # v0.7.14 # This sabnzbd.ini was automatically generated. To change...
