Thx shypike I will watch for that, but it seems all of them have some "missing articles" yet some go unaffected by it, also how can I reduce the occurrence of it having missing articles, reducing the retention length makes it harder to find and I the process to be as automated as possible, as I don't have time to babysit even download to find out.

There's no magic formula for getting reliable NZB files.
It's a comination of the indexer, you Usenet provider and the kind of posts you want.
Make sure you get NZBs with plenty of par2 files.
You don't have to baby sit, SABnzbd will tell afterwards how much was missing.
Also, do not set a retention time in Config->Servers if you only have one server.

I'm having a similar problem.. it just started in the last few days.. sab will be downloading a few items and then all the sudden the time left and speed status will just show "-".. like it is paused.. but it doesn't show that it is paused.. A restart of sab will kick it back into gear for a while, but then it will happen again eventually.
My disk space has been running low.. is that the issue? it doesn't SAY that..

43943.82 ⁄ 55240.86 MB Remaining 44.99 GB Free (Temp) 31.66 GB Free Space

Some part of the log that I suspect may be where it pauses is located here: http://pastebin.com/LHgB0ye0
This is SABnzbd Version: 0.7.8 on Ubuntu 12.04.1

May I remind you that there is a fatal error in 0.7.8?
