Downloads stopped. Help a noob out

Post by Achandab »

Hi. Trying to figure out why my downloads have suddenly stopped. I will provide some insight below. I am new to usenet so im more than likely missing something obvious here.

I am using SABnzbd to download. For about 3 days straight it’s downloading at max bandwidth of 100mb/s. For the past few hours it stopped downloading completely. I deleted the current download because it appeared to be missing a lot of articles and the next in line just stayed there. I checked and made sure the provider I was with “Newshosting“ account is fine. SO I signed up for another provider “Ninja” I added them and still nothing. I then signed with “Ewaka” and then my downloads started.

Now there downloading and can see connections varying between all the providers now. So I guess my question is. Is it normal for a provider to not have certain downloads and just sit there doing nothing for hours? It seemed like it was 2 certain TV Shows that just kept showing as “articles missing” with Newshosting, however I moved a popular movie to the top of the list and it still wouldn’t download.
How can diagnose what the issue is? Where can I find SAB logs and would that be the best place to start?

Thanks in advance!

Strange. Usually we suggest the following: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/faq#freshstart
It could be that SAB is still locked on that 1 failed download, but that seems unlikely.
Have you tried restarting SABnzbd in between?

You can find the logs in Status and Interface settings "Show Logging" button.
