SABnzbd Forums

Howdy,

I've been using Sickbeard & Sabnzbd for a while and have always used the free ipv6.xsnews.nl site. However, it has become insanely unreliable. It downloads slowly and just seems to stop working for days or weeks at a time. So, I'm looking for something new.

I'd prefer something free if there's anything out there. I don't need much of anything for retention since I just use it for downloading TV shows that are only a few days old. Is there anything out there I can look into or are there just the ones you have to pay for?

Thanks for any recommendations.

free, ipv6 and low retention? Then ... newszilla6.xs4all.nl !

For any of the ipv6 servers I get a connection error 10060 Timed out.

I can do a ping -6 newszilla6.xs4all.nl and it pings just fine. However Sab gives me the timed out error. I get this a lot with the other ipv6 server I use as well.

Then do the usual steps to check your IPv6:

http://test-ipv6.com/ ... what does it say for IPv6 address?
which IPv6 provider do you use? Some IPv6 tunnel providers block News / Usenet traffic.
Which OS are you using? If Windows: do you use a non-Microsoft firewall? Those non-MS FW's tend to block IPv6
What does a manual "telnet newszilla6.xs4all.nl 119" give you?
