Multiple Downloads Running?

Post by RethXoth »

Heya,

Short question: Is it possible for SABnzbd+ to run multiple downloads at the same time?
I don't want it to download the files 1 by 1, just all at the same time.

Why you asking? Cause I leave it on by night, and sometimes it happens that a file is corrupt which makes the download stop, and it will ruin it for all the other files.

Thanks for the help! :D

A single corrupt file shouldn't be stopping your queue. When that happens, what shows up in your logs?

Read The Fine Manual.
Set "Config->Switches->Only get articles for top of the queue" to OFF.
See Wiki: http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/configure-switches.
When a top-job stalls for some reason, start downloading segments for the next job (costs more memory). This prevents a job from blocking the queue when you have an unreliable Usenet server. If you need this behaviour, set the value to False. If you have a reliable server (most paid servers), you might as well set this to True.
