FYI: Installing pyOpenSSL on Ubuntu to enable SSL is easy: just a 'sudo apt-get install python-pyopenssl' and a restart of SABnzbd will do.

*Using* SSL: I have not been able to test that; xlned should support it on port 563, but I can't get a connection.

Quote from Beta announcement: "Linux and SSL. For linux users who are wanting to use SSL, you will require any version of pyopenssl greater than 0.6. "

It looks like the SSL of my provider XLned is not working at this time, so I can't test SABnzbd's SSL against that.

However, Giganews does provide SSL, so I tested that with news.giganews.com and port 563. As I haven't got a Giganews account, I just filled out a dummy account. The result is good: "502 Invalid username or password", proving there is communication over SSL between SABnzbd and Giganews. ;-)

So it looks like SSL is working OK.

The friendly people of www.yabnews.nl provide a free test account for three days, including SSL. Using the free account, SABnzbd is able to connect and retrieve data:

So: SABnzbd's SSL on Ubuntu works. Great.
