SABnzbd Forums

With todays downloads, there were some timeouts during downloading, probably as a result of issue with my isp. This caused the following traceback to show up a couple of times:

Exception in thread Thread-3:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 552, in __bootstrap_inner
self.run()
File "/usr/share/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbd/downloader.py", line 308, in run
if nw.nntp.error_msg or (nw.timeout and time.time() > nw.timeout):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'error_msg'

Everything seemed to continue normally otherwise.

Hmmm, sloppy programming.
Or the result of a race condition. I'll look into it.
The exception itself is easy to work around.
Was this an "optional" server?

Yes, must have been since all servers are set optional in my install.

For optional I now have a hunch about what can go wrong, only so far I haven't been able to reproduce the scenario.
I will fix the crashing code anyway.

Probably not easy to reproduce indeed. Some background info: turns out my provider thought I had been uploading "excessive" amounts of data, and figured it would be a good "punishment" to limit my upstream to 128 kbit/s (down from 100 mbit/s). That resulted in a sab install setup for high speed downloading now being insanely cut off by limited upload bandwidth, and even then this traceback happened only a few times after hours of downloading.
