I would like to significantly decrease my parity repair times as i have had times where 100s of GB of stuff is queued to par repair and unrar and parity repair is one thing that could be signfiicantly sped up. Does anyone know of an actual version that works with sabnzb on linux? I had an old versio...

Did you followup to Shypike's post http://forums.sabnzbd.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9873&p=71509#p63196 ? I think repeating your same question again and again won't help much if you don't react to Shypike. The downloads are not failing now. My point is that it would be nice to set an option to...

Still the option to just always download all parity files would be nice. A lot of times it is extremely slow and goes through multiple passes of downloading parity files (sometimes failing in the end) and it clogs up the queue. Due to not having this behavior I get a queue that looks like this: http...

Yes I am on fiber. I ran into it again and no it doesnt happen in other clients. Like it slows down a little but not as much.

Also when this happens its being CPU bottlenecked (python process uses 100% -- or a bit over) of cpu usage.

Anyway to do this? I am having problems with a 100 GB nzb file in that at first it was going at decent speed (14-18 megabytes/sec) but after its about 70% done its crawling at 2-4 megabytes/sec and python is using 100% cpu. I moved another file above it and that one is cruising at 30 megabytes/sec. ...

I understand your claim, SABnzbd gives up after checking with just one par2 file. When I test it, it will do the same, but then it proceeds automatically to get the other par2 files. As I cannot reproduce your complaint, I need your help to do anything further. 1. Stop SABnzbd, clear the log files ...

Is sabnzb downloading all the par2 files in that nzb for you? the problem for me is that it is not. It is only downloading one of the .par2 files and its the smallest one with only 1 repair block.

I cannot reproduce your problem at all. Works fine here even with a purposely damaged NZB file. Which OS are you using and where does your par2 utility come from? I am using linux. I am using the par2 utility par2cmdline-0.4-tbb-20090203-lin64. It is one of the ones with multi-threading support (no...

Sorry it took so long but I added another usenet provider so this doesn't happen as often but here is one example: http://box.houkouonchi.jp/greys%20anatomy%20s08e09.nzb Files downloaded: total 1.4G 12K drwxr--r-- 3 root root 4.0K 2012-03-26 06:50 . 44K drwxr-xr-x 91 root root 8.0K 2012-03-26 06:52 ...

Apparently sabnzb tries to be smart about things and efficient and only downloads the .par2 files as it thinks they are needed? Due to this I have seen lots of times where downloads have failed because the parity repair fails due to not enough parity files being downloaded but downloading the same n...

Well the actual bottleneck seemed to be the fact that the specific file I downloaded had errors and that was causing the slowdown. When I downloaded another file I was able to get the full speed this time (and less CPU usage to boot). Honestly I am pretty happy with the CPU usage.

Did you set an article cache in Config->General?

Yes to yEnc but it didn't seem to make that large of a difference and yes I have the cache set to 300M.

Ok, So I am not sure if this is because of the fact it had errors and the server was being slow or that caused additional CPU usage that caused the bottleneck. The file wouldn't repair as it had a lot of errors. I tried adding supplemental NZB just to play around with it and now its using less CPU u...

I am having an issue where I can't quite max out my download speed while downloading with sabnzb. Also I wanted to state that sabNZB is great software and really enjoying it so far. I appear to be getting between 1-1.5 megabytes/sec under my connections maximum speed. I believe this is caused by the...
