Can it be that the update to Safari 4.0 crashed sabnzbd+ ?

[superJ]

Hello,

I am running sabnzbd+ 0.4.11 under OSX Leopard with the smpl skin (but the default skin shows the same issues). A few days ago my Mac showed me, that there is an update to safari 4.0 possible. So I did it. I don't know exactly if my problems started exactly with this safari update, but it feels like it.

The problem is this: I don't get significant downloadspeed since the update. Often there is only a third of the speed availible, but the most time there is no connection to my usenetserver  at all. Before it worked great so I am a little worried what to do.

My usenetserver should be ok. Because I tryed to conect and download from it with  an windows PC and altbinz and it worked great.

Does anyonoe have an Idea, what this is and what I could do?

Here are the warnings sab shows me:

"2009-06-17 12:53:30,063 WARNING [downloader] Thread [email protected]:563: timed out
2009-06-17 12:53:30,064 WARNING [downloader] Thread [email protected]:563: timed out

2009-06-17 12:56:44,587 ERROR [newswrapper] Failed to connect: (60, 'Operation timed out') [email protected]:563"

But I can't read anything from it (yes, I'm  a noob - sorry!!!). So please, any help?

Safari itself will not be the cause. The only result could be that the Web-ui doesn't work properly anymore.
In that case installing FireFox would solve the problem.
Maybe more patches were installed along with Safari?

"ERROR [downloader] Exception?" means that internally something went wrong.
Unfortunately our OSX expert is not availble now.

Es an experiment: try using port 119 and no SSL.

I've been running 10.5.7 and Safari 4 (first the beta, now the final) and have had zero issues with SAB.

I think it's something else causing the problem.

Thanx for the answer. Tryed the firefox and the no SSL Angel. Nothing changed.
I don't know, if other patches where installed, with the safari update...
Hum, any other Idea, what I could possibly try?

I also tryed to reinstall sabnzbd+ - it also changed nothing.

I have no idea.
Unfortunately our OSX porter is not available for some weeks.
If it's a general OSX issue, I'm sure he will fix it. But not right now

You said you reinstalled SABnzbd. Have you tried removing the invisible folder ~/.sabnzbd where your settings reside?

You can remove it by using the terminal or by using the finder "Go" command to go to "~/.sabnzbd" and removing the sabnzbd.ini, cache and logs folders.

Then launch sabnzbd again, and have it rebuild them. You'll have to set sabnzbd up again from scratch, but that might help.

Thanks for the Idea - it did not work 
I even tryed to switch to an older Version. I removed ~/.sabnzbd again, put the sabnzbd.app (0.4.11) in the trash and installed 0.4.8 which worked before with me pretty good. Again, same result. No change.
The Downloadspeed - if I get a conection - is still pretty low. But most of the time I get no conection to the newsserver, while Internet runs. And If I try to connect via altbinz on my Windowsstation it connects instantly to the newsserver (like sabnzbd before did too).

Any other Idea, what I could change or get a look at?

And is there any other nzb downloader for the mac? I would hate to leave SAB behind, but if does not work proper - what should I do else?

So pleaaaaase HELP!

Is your Leopard firewall on? (Security system preference).

Unison is another Mac usenet reader/downloader. See if you get the same results, which might indicate an issue with the entire machine, not just SABnzbd.

No, firewall isn't on.
Tryed Unison and NZB Drop. With the same result as SAB. So, I think it's save to say, it is not SAB which is causing the Problem, but I have to look somewhere in Macworld... Problem is, I'm an absolut newby at OSX. Just bought the Minni Mac as entertainment Center to watch my HD Files... which I get via SAB... (see where the problem lies... ;-) ).

Does someone has an Idea, where I can look in OSX to get SAB work flawless again?

If nobody, maybee I have to install OSX completely new, to get a clean start... Won't love to do so, but what the heck.

If you can, you may want to try another connection type. If you're using wifi, switch to ethernet temporarily. If you're using ethernet, switch to wifi. See if you get any different results.

Hi,

If other softwares give the same result, maybe it's a your ports are filtered by you internet provider.
Try to change your port to 443...
