SABnzbd Forums

I have been using sabnzbd for some time with no issues.  However over the last few weeks I have been finding that an significant and seemingly increasing number of downloads stop when the are 99% complete and I get a error message that indicates that it has timed out.

I have tried reinstalling the software and this has not resolved the problem and here seems to be no pattern (at least that I have seen) with the problem occurring with new and old files and also small and large.  I have made no changes to the PC and am not sure what to do next to resolve the problem.

grateful for any advice as to what I should try to resolve the problem?

Version: 0.4.12
OS: Vista Basic
Install-type: Windows Installer
Firewall Software: COMODO
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes
Service provider: Astraweb

Have a look at the logging file (see Connections) page.
Didn't you get any warnings or errors?

I did get warning that threads were timing out and an error about permissions.

The permission error I understand can be ignored as it does not affect windows operation and I have now changed the ini file as advised in a number of the posts.

Not sure if that is the root cause of the problem.  I will try another download to see if that has cleared the problem.  Is it worth changing the logging to include debug while I try it again?

Thanks

Not to shift the blame, but lately I have seen quite some complaints
about the quality of Astraweb.

That should be easy enough to troubleshoot.

the change to the ini file did not fix problem. 

I have now carried out an uninstall and installed and set up sabnzbd again from scratch, rather than just overwriting the existing setup.

So far I have managed to download a couple of things without failure, so I hope that this has resolved the problem.

thanks

Re-install is never needed.
Just using the --clean command line option is enough in 99% of the situations.

Thanks for the info on the clean command.  Will try that if the problem occurs again, but fingers crossed all seems ok now

Queue consistency is one of the major subjects
we will work on in this year.
