OSX version with SSL

[AndyPanerai]

Hi All,

I'am using Sabnzbd for along time now and i realy realy like it, but since my ISP is cutting the line at certain time i want to use SSL because with
SSL i can still download with full speed

Can somebody help me getting SSL running with the osx version.

thx, best regards,
Andy (happy sabnzbd user)

It works great (built-in) with SABnzbd 0.4, see if you can grab the source from the trunk?

Thanks for the info, but version 0.4 is it a beta ? Where can i get it ? I realy want to test it.

thx

We can have a unsupported Alpha release in a week or so.
Trouble is, I still working on 0.3.3 which has some nasty compatibility problems with Vista and some Unixes.
That will go out first.

But nothing stops you from grabbing the sources from SourceForge.net SubVersion archive.

great info. keep up the good work

Thx

Because i got the OSX version, what files do i need to copy to the directory to test SSL ?

Just been trying out 0.40 on my LinkStation. Seems to be working fine, however the main reason I wanted to try 0.40 before release was to see what impact SSL had on download speed, but it seems to be disabled?

EDIT: Probably should have done an "ipkg install py25-openssl" first. Doh!



EDIT3: Working now -- once I'd changed the port to 563 as well!

Initial testing shows a massive performance hit on the LinkStation (400MHz ARM9) -- down 50% from 1000kbyte/sec to 500kbyte/sec. To be expected, I guess!

Nice work though fellas, SSL is a great addition.

I've tried to with the last rev (726) on osx (leopard/macintel) and i have the same issue.
Everything works fine, except  for download speed 50% less with SSL enabled.
I can do some tests if it helps.

Still great work for 0.4.0 !

I find stunnel has a fairly low hit on performance on my Mac.

It's a bit fiddly to set up though unless you're used to the command line.

There's something weird going on with SSL at high speeds. I can max out my line using GigaNews Accelerator or Stunnel + SAB, however SAB with built-in SSL support goes as low as 50% of the line speed.

Throughput with SAB + SSL OFF: 16mbit/sec
Throughput with SAB + GigaNews Acc. (SSL): 15 to 15.5mbit/sec
Throughput with SAB + Internal SSL: 8-10mbit/sec

FYI, I have consistent throughput of 16mbit/sec 24 hours a day, since Feb 14th -- it's not my line or throttling, or contention, or a server problem.
CPU is bumping along below 20% also.

Not sure where the problem is, but I'm happy to test out any new builds -- I can pull builds from the SVN.

Cheers ears!

Neil.

EDIT: Corrected throughput figures

We're completely dependent on the Python SSL implementation.
Looks like it's not very efficient.
There's probably nothing we can do without rewriting part of the Python library.
And that's definitely not on our roadmap.

BTW: which versions of Python and Python modules are you using?

We also have a few practical problems:
- None of the Pyhton developers has a Mac
- Nobody on the team is lucky enough to have a 16+ mbit/sec connection

BTW: which versions of Python and Python modules are you using?

This is the Win32 binary on a 2GHz Core 2 Duo with Vista 32-bit.

[shypike]

Ok, so you have all the latest and greatest.
Looks even more like a Python problem.

I'll check with switch if there's anything we can do about this,
but I'm not very hopeful.

[neilt0]

OK. Thanks for looking into this.
