Problems with large NZB files

Post by midoban »

Version: (0.5.0 beta 4)
OS: (Windows 2003 R2 64-bit)
Install-type: (Windows Installer)
Skin: (Plush)
Firewall Software: (none)
Are you using IPV6? (no)
Is the issue reproducible? (yes)

I noticed a problem while using Sabnzbd Beta 0.5beta4.

Sabnzbd will stop responding when using large NZB files (35MB tested). The file queues nicely, but after a short
period of time sabnzbd will hang and will not respond. When checking the taskmanager I see that 1 core of my
dualcore cpu is totally used. When this happens, the memory usage goes up by a few hundred MB. As soon
as this hang occurs, all traffic will stop.
After a few minutes everything returns to normal, the memory usage drops a few hundred MB and traffic
resumes, but then after a few minutes the same occurs. It keeps repeating itself no matter what I do.
When splitting the same NZB up in smaller portions everything is fine.
