After running for a bit, the UI was still sluggish after idle periods despite the earlier fixes. The issue is Solaris's aggressive memory reclamation — when SABnzbd sits idle for a few minutes, Solaris deprioritizes the process and lets ZFS ARC reclaim those memory pages. Next time you touch the UI,...

Hey all, Wanted to share some findings from getting SABnzbd 4.5.5 running on Solaris 11.4 (x86, 8 cores, 64GB RAM, ZFS storage). The motivation was eliminating network transfers — previously SABnzbd ran on an Arch Linux VM and had to copy completed downloads over CIFS to the Solaris file server. Wit...

Yes. But the regular duplicate detection works for your need. Since you only used the nzb backup folder, which only worked on exact matches. If you already use Sonarr and Radarr, you shouldn't need duplicate detection, right? I don't run into problems with duplicates on Sonarr and Radarr its mainly...

Actually smart duplication would interfere with how sonarr and radarr grab releases. If any is checked for a profile it could download the file first as an SD version then maybe a 720HD version after then 1080p version until it hits the target select quality profile is reached.

A few versions ago we made quite some improvements to it.

ahh so as long as I never delete my archived history that's good enough then?

Why do you even need every job backed up?

Thanks updated the post.

Hi everyone, I'm dealing with a massive NZB backup folder issue and looking for solutions or workarounds. ## The Problem SABnzbd uses the NZB backup folder for duplicate detection, which is great - it prevents re-downloading content I already have. However, my backup folder has gotten completely out...

What python module would control things like drop downs for max bandwidth and catergories in the web interface. I'm a having a problem where the drop downs stop working show nothing or say set max bandwidth but when I first start it up they work fine. I want to try and track down why this is happeni...

Just noticed this I can't set use bandwidth throttling even thou even thou its in the settings.
Also when downloading I can'tt set category from the drop down its just blank.
This is on the same server I got the constant disconnects.

if you click on the wrench up on the right hand side then click on the orphaned jobs you should see them and can delete them from there. I don't have any orphaned jobs so I can't remember if tells you why they are orphaned. I have deleted them from the directory before without problems but I think b...

yeah I got the same problem. I'm at loss what's causing it. I've even checked the HD because these numbers make no sense. If you ever get anymore ideas please let me know. sabnzbd is still working fine with everything. System performance (Pystone) 106068 SunOS-5.11-i86pc-i386-64bit-ELF SSE2 Download...

click on wrench top right of page
web interface there you will find Queue which is the current downloads window and history which is complete nzb's so downloads and what I think you mean.

yeah the port is still open when its displaying the disconnect message.

1-3 second disconnects then back to web interface.

SABnzbd is running.
that netstat command doesn't work will look into how i can monitor that port in realtime
yes i can access with curl
nothing in syslog

yeah it doesn't make any sense why I am seeing this. I've even used renice to move the priority up but the processor is never heavily in use at all. I only use this server for my media files because of ZFS. It just started after the last release I'm going to downgrade back to sabnzbd-4.3.1 and see w...
