SABnzbd Forums

I am slowly get very frustrated with sabnzb. I have used this program for a long time and had never had this issue.

When I updated to the new release it started doing this. I tried everything incl a previous release and nothing wants to work...

Also even formatted and installed a totally new OS and still no luck. I cleared the cache no luck. I have checked the nzb with nzb checker and it is fine. 100% parts. I don't know what else to do and I have searched for answers and couldn't find any. It is a real pity as this program has served me very well in the past.

Please please help...

If you've reformatted your system and re-installed the old release,
why do you think it's still a SABnzbd issue?
You've effectively erased the effects of the new release,
so how could it still cause problems?

Are you using WIFi?
Did you check with another PC?
Did you try another client (Grabit is great for a quick check)?

I had the new release on the previous installation of Win 7. I then uninstalled it and tried a older release. Also didn't work. So I thought a new installation on a formatted SSD would work as a fresh start. I then installed the newest release, but the results was the same. I just don't know what changed? I never had this issue before with the program..

I don't use wi-fi on that server.

What else could it be?

I will try grabit. I did try supernzb and it also seems to battle..

Did you read http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq#toc12 ?

Yes I did. it is not that. NZB checked fine with nzb checker and no articles missing. Was not the only NZB where it did this... Others were also checked and same issue.

Ok I also ran a speedtest and the line and connection seem to be fine? I also tried the same download on my work connection with different ISP on my laptop and it works just fine there...

I am stumped here?

So, let me check:

At your home:
SABnzbd and supernzb are slow. Grabit is ... ?
speedtest.net is fast?

At your work
Everything works fast and fine?

If so, it could be that your home isp is throttling NNTP / newsgroup traffic. You can verify / circumvent this by setting up a VPN with a VPN provider outside your ISP.

The ISP at home should not throttle anything. It is a business account that distinctly mentioned no throttling or shaping.. I have used that exact same ISP business package before and did about 200 GB plus worth of DL a months and had no issues.

Have not tried Grabit but will do when I get home.

Supernzb seems slow yes and even Windows Update took forever to complete although the speedtest was fine on two separate test engines. Yes Speedtest.net gave me a DL speed of about 3.5 mps plus on a 4 mps line.

At work everything seems fine yes.

This is very weird. I am trying to work everything out in my head all day by elimination..
