Run SAB on schedule & limit file size

[nzbtuxnews]

Hello !

I guess I have 2 small questions I am hoping this community will be able to provide answer to...

1-If I decide to run SAB on schedules (one schedule for Daily Resume set at 1AM, and one schedule for Daily Pause All set at 6AM) so SAB runs only between 1AM & 6AM everyday, will my movie & tv show managers (Couchpotato & SickBeard) still be able to send downloads in SAB's queue while SAB is in Paused mode ?  Or SAB has to be "running" and downloading for this to work?

2-Can I limit the size of file to download?  Last month, at the last day of my billing cycle, SickBeard sent a 78GB file to download to SAB.  I was already exceeding my bandwidth at that moment... Can I prevent this by either blocking such extra large downloads or having them to wait in paused mode until manual activation?

1. It's just the downloader that stops, the rest runs as usual

2. Upgrade to 0.6.0 RC1, which has a "hidden" option to put a limit on the size.

Thanks for your reply!


I upgraded to 0.6.0RC and it seems to work fine except I noticed my queue is gone.  I was using 0.6.0Beta3 before so I dont believe it is a queue compatibility issue... THe files are still in my "incomplete" folder. 

How can I restore the queue?

Thanks!

Assuming you use the "Plush" skin:
Item "Status", tab "Queue Repair".

I totally forgot the repair queue option...  Thanks a lot!
