Hi,
I just discovered what can only be a bug ... I have multiple accounts with ONE server (e.g. reader.xsnews.nl). When I try to add a second server with the same name; the first get's replaced.
This is not a major problem for me because I have enough accounts elsewere but perhaps you could add a Name field so that the hostname doen't have to be unique anymore.
I am running 0.5.0.aplha2. I'm pretty sure that 0.4.8 has the same problem (but I didn't try it).

Re: Bug for sure: Cannot add 2nd account with same hostname
It't not a bug, it's a feature.
A work-around is to use a different port (many providers allow you to use alternative ports).
Or as a last resort, use the numeric IP address of the server for the second account.

Or use a forwarder app like 6tunnel. Despite the name it works fine for ipv4 too, if you tell it too:
...would allow sabnzbd to connect on localhost port 1234 in order to download from news.example.org port 119. By starting multiple instances of 6tunnel, each on its own local port number, you'd have no trouble connecting to the same actual newsserver with as many different accounts as you want.
Code: Select all
6tunnel -4 -llocalhost 1234 news.example.org 119
Re: Bug for sure: Cannot add 2nd account with same hostname
Thanks for the reply; the workaround as stated above (use ip for secondary) is what I did to overcome this. small prob. Although adding the tunneling software sounds (and is) more pro, this is good for me.

It's not a bug because it was designed this way.Tijlbert wrote: 'It's not a bug it's a feature" .... Hey! I didn't know YOU are that pr guy from microsoft!
You may not agree with the design, but that doesn't make it a bug.
The design did not assume that people would have multiple accounts with one provider.
Your rare requirement isn't covered by our implementation.
