Important warning for those downloading by RSS

If you auto-download by RSS using SABnzbd, it's very important to turn this off and download manually for a short period of time.

Right now there is some nasty NZB spam going on, I personally just lost 48 GB of bandwidth/paid news service, because these spammer pricks are posting 24 GB of content in place of TV shows that are normally 350 MB.

There is another thread in the support forum, discussing the problem and requesting a fix:

Beyond that, I thought it was important to post a warning to others, to login to your dashboard and check that you do not have any oversized files jamming up your queue.

Not sure about other providers... but with NewzBin RSS (and searches) you can limit the file sizes.

I have seen this to be more an issue with tvnzb sourced rss feeds which a few of us here.  I moved over to using SickBeard for this very reason.  The TVnzb structure doesn't allow the admins to delete the junk nzbs unfortunately.

I've been using Episode Butler lately myself. The programs seem to do the same thing but EB is not in alpha, it's pretty stable. Has less of a feature set though.
