Sabnzbd not using article caching

Post by meimeiriver »

Using sabnzbd 3.2.1 on Synlogy, I noticed article cache is no longer being used. I had set it to -1, 1G-4G, etc, but the status buttton says only ca 12MB of cached articles is being used. And sabnzbd has a correspondingly small memory footprint in DSM (used to be much higher). And yes, I saved changes, of course, and restsarted sabnzbd. What's up?

We now write to disk to the final file in blocks of ~10MB as soon as the data is received, this is actually an improvement ;)
Before we would for example cache a whole 100MB file in memory before writing, causing huge write-spikes and memory blocks.

Good! :) Yeah, SAB could consume up to 50% of my 4G memory of my old NAS, so I always had to restart it after a huge download. My new NAS has 16G RAM (Xpenology VM), and SAB is consistently using less than 3%.
