SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

is there a way to let sabnzbd start par2 / unrar or unzip commands with low / below normal priority? I don't have a slow system but these operationsreally disturb parallel watching of movies

v0.6 final, multicore par disabled (tried it with enabled before).

Any help on this topic is appreciated.

Regards,

The problem isn't in the CPU priority, which is all you can control on Windows.
It's the saturation of the disk channel which is fatal.
There isn't much you can about that in Windows.
Your only option is probably is a scheduled window of post-processing.
Put post-process-pause and -resumes in the scheduler.

Thank you, shypike.

I've tried Process Tamer to force the check and unpack processes to "low" and it helps a little bit (but not enough).

So your recommendation seems to be the only possible way atm.
