SABnzbd doesnt download

[rikp]

Hello,

Whole week i have been trying to get SAB working. After getting everything right, i got 2 movies in the qeue but it just doesnt download. IT says 0 kb/s and estimated time is unknown. Also when i shutdown ALL firewalls it still doesnt work.

please help me

Do you see any warning or error messages?
Isn't SABnzbd in paused mode?

[rikp]

no warnings or messages at all... and also not in pause mode :/

[shypike]

Did you setup a Usenet server in Config->Servers.
Is at least one server "enabled"?
Did you try the "Test" button?

[rikp]

yes i did, and the connection is succesful

[shypike]

Last guess: check whether the jobs are individually paused.

[rikp]

iam afraid its not

Whap happens if you click on tghe NZB name in the queue.
Do you get an overview with the individual files to be downloaded?

(Tried restarting SABnzbd yet?)

[rikp]

i can the see the individual files yes...
i am trying for 3 days already and i dont know what to do know

Please email your sabnzbd.ini file to bugs at sabnzbd.org
Make sure you replace all passwords with a dummy text first.

Also make absolutely sure that your firewall software isn't
blocking SABnzbd. Which firewall do you use?

[rikp]

ok ill send the .ini file, do u think they can help me?

my firewall is just the windows one :/

edit: i dont have a sabnzbd.ini file?

Try turning off the SPI firewall in your router. I've noticed alot of similar problems seem to stem from router firewalls.

You might need to reboot your router after doing so as it might have temporarily blocked your computer.

The logs should tell you either way.

i dont know where to put the SPI out...

i went in the router (ip in webbrowser) and looked at all tabs but i cant find anything to turn off the SPI
how can i do this?

The problem could be any of the things raised here, but I have recently been experiencing similar problems and reading these posts just now I happened to work out what's wrong in my case.

When nzb files are added into the queue *by RSS* they don't download, and in fact mess up the rest of the queue.  I've recently started trying to use a feed from nzbs.org and while it adds the filename to the list neatly enough it doesn't seem to pick up any of the other download details.  For each entry it shows "0MB 0 left".  These are seem to be the things which stop my server from connecting to Usenet.  If I add the files to my queue manually, everything's fine.

Anyway, knowing this (and so avoiding RSS) seems to have solved the problem peculiar to me.  Hope it helps.
