FYI: this is what I get with manual connections:

Apparantly SABnzbd gets stuck with the test.news-service.com session time-out and keeps retrying that server.

How does SABnzbd handle concurrent sessions? Is that done by downloader.py?

Yes, it's the hardest part of SABnzbd.
The place we prefer not to look at

Taming parallel sockets in Python is not an easy thing to do.

So far, I haven't seen the problems you claim.
When I add a non-existent server, it just blocks until timeout, but
the other servers continue.

There is one exception though!
When the last required article of a job does not exist and SABnzbd has tried
all other servers (and got no for an answer), it keeps retrying the
blocked server forever. Probably because it does not get the "no such article" message.

So maybe this is the stuck download problem we have been hunting for.
Not sure if it's related to your specific problem.

I can generate the effect very easily:

with two servers on, of which one non-functional, there's no download at all

when I set the non-functional server to 0, AND restart SAB, the downloads starts again. (Without the SAB-restart, the download stays on 0)

when I set the non-functional server again to 2, the download goes down to 0

All on Ubuntu

The download is at it's begin, so I guess it's not last-article-related.

FWIW: is the output on the CLI. First succesful downloading with only the functional server set to >0, then (I think after the firefox-POST), the non-functional server is on again, and ... blocking all traffice. Well, that is: SAB *does* setup a connection to the functional news.ipv6.eweka.nl, and apparently *ignoring* the result from that server.

Another way to reproduce the problem:

1) functional server
2) www.cisco.com as a non-functional server

Results in the same behaviour.

First, with only the functional server, the download goes OK:

Just to be sure it's not SSL nor IPv6 related, one more test:

1) newsreader3.eweka.nl as fucntional server
2) www.cisco.com as non-functional server

Exact the same behavior: as soons as the non-functional server is set to >0 connections, the download stops ... :-(

Posted: **October 5th, 2008, 5:37 pm**

Below is what the logging in the screen is.

Interesting: the functional server gets a "timed out" message, which is probably from downloader.py too:

Code: Select all

            for server in self.servers:
                for nw in server.busy_threads[:]:
                    if nw.timeout and time.time() > nw.timeout:
                        self.__reset_nw(nw, "timed out")

This message is not correct: the functional server is responding and thus there is no real time-out, but SAB *thinks* there is a time-out. Why is this happening?

Just a quick reply to support the topic as I have exactly the same problem.

My background :
Athlon XP 2200
Debian Lenny (up to date)
python 2.5
ipv4 and ipv6 conectivity

I can provide an SSH access if needed to one of the developpers

'good' to hear that ;-)

@ SAB-developers:
1) have you tried the super-easy setup of one functional (your own server) and one non-functional server (www.cisco.com)?
2) what platform are you using yourself to run SAB? I'll check on Windows it's not platform (Linux) related.

Posted: **October 6th, 2008, 1:50 pm**

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ...

I tried and can not reproduce this problem on Windows XP ... !

On Windows XP, with one functional and one non-functional server, the download just goes on and SAB nicely reports the time-out of the non-functional server.

So the problem is platform related. Now what? I guess SABnzbd itself is exactly the same on each OS, so apparently it's not (just) SAB, but OS-related (or Python-on-OS related?)

Don't get overboard in testing and generating evidence.
When testing on Vista with the cisco-fake-server and a real-giganews server,
I do not get the problem you seem te get.

However:
We are pursuing a clue now, having to do with SABnzbd getting into trouble
with the mix of a missing article and an unresponsive server.
The issue is: when none of the working servers have an article, SABnzbd will
get stuck on the fake (or offline) server, because it never gets told
that the article does not exist. Instead it retries the last available (but non-fucntioning)
server forever.

Other that that, my Vista, XP and Linux test systems have no trouble handling
non-functioning servers.
