SABnzbd Forums

Hey,

I'm running on Windows 7 x64 and sabnzbd is not using the x64 versions of unrar & par2, just the regular ones in (SABnzbd\win\par2\par2.exe and SABnzbd\win\unrar\unrar.exe).
I've read that sab should be using the x64 version on x64 OS'es by default, but it doesn't here.
Is there a difference between them in performance?

Greets,

Check your sabnzbd.ini file.
There's a "secret" setting allow_64bit_tools in it.
It should be set to 1 (and it is by default).
For unrar it should make very little difference, being disk-bound.
There is some gain when doing par2 repairs.

Its set to 1 already, allow_64bit_tools = 1
Anything else that might prevent this?
