Sabnzbd Preventing Sleepmode even when ideal

Post by thanku11 »

Hi Guys,

Sorry if this has been asked before but even when I am not downloading anything I notice sabnzbd is letting my compute goes in sleep mode.

But if I kill sabnzbd my computer can enter sleep mode

How could I solve this problem basically I want my computer in sleep mode when download is finished.

I do not want to shut down sabnzbd just want computer in sleep mode

Many Thanks

Not sure what you mean.
As long as SABnzbd is busy downloading and post-processing it tells Windows to
keep the system awake.
As soon as the queue is empty, it stops asking Windows.
After that Windows can make the system sleep, if it wants to.
Additionally you can tell SABnzbd to put the system in Standby or Hibernate mode
when the queue becomes empty. You can do that at the top of the Queue page.

What is your issue?

Hi many thanks for your reply.

I think what may have been going wrong was I had very old version of sabnzbd which I was just upgrading

To resolve the issue I uninstal it clear the the registry of traces done a new install and it is working perfect.

Many Many Thanks every think is working well now.
