I've configured three news-servers and all works well until one of them becomes unresponsive. Then sabnzbd+ is not able to use the remaining two servers, it justs sits there presumably waiting for a timeout. However it never recovers.
Something with the server-connection / timeout handling seems to be the problem.
I'm using 0.4.6RC2 but 0.4.5 behaves exactly the same way. I'm on Debian/lenny.

Check your connection in Status and Interface settings window.
Use Test Server in Config > Servers.
We will probably ask you to do a test using only basic settings. - Do you experience problems during repair or unpacking?
Enable +Debug logging in the Status and Interface settings window and share the relevant parts of the log here using [ code ] sections.
Re: Hangs with multiple servers
I sometimes have this problem too. To workaround it, I restart SAB and/or change the queue order and/or limit the number of active servers to one.

Re: Hangs with multiple servers
This is a known problem, that we cannot solve without some fundamental changes in the downloader.
This will take time.

Re: Hangs with multiple servers
Since you're already using non-blocking sockets, you'd have to implement some sort of select() handling that identifies whether the socket in question will be readable on the next recv() given a certain amount of timeout.
I agree, this can be tedious.
