SABnzbd getting Killed [Raspi]

[sayreg]

Hi Everyone,

I am having an issue with sabnzbd, it keeps shutting down on it's own. When I have it running in terminal via ssh all it says is "Killed" it generally seems to happen after a download starts. Also the other issue I have with it is when watching a show (720p), It stutters if a show is downloading at the same time.

My setup is this;

Raspberry Pi Model B
Sickbeard
SABnzbd
OS runs from the SD card and Everything downloading/saves/plays from an external hard drive connected by USB.

Thanks in advance.

Does it happen also when you log on to the physical system itself (so: on the keyboard connected to the Raspi)?

How much RAM: 256MB or 512MB? Check with "free -m"

Yes it happens all the time, I even did a fresh format and clean reinstall of everything and it still does it. Like right now I start it up (sabnzbdplus --server 0.0.0.0) it makes connections to blocknews and then shuts down and says "Killed" in terminal. I start it up again and same thing.. Anyone know where I can get a working image of Raspbmc , sick beard , and sabnzbd to download? I am getting so frustrated.

Thanks

1) 50 concurrent connections to a newsserver?! Lower that to 2
2) "sabnzbdplus-0.6.15"? Upgrade to current version: 0.7.16
3) I'm still waiting for your output of "free -m"

Bingo.
50 connections is a sure way to get the process killed by the oom killer on resource-limited system such as the pi.

Thanks Sander, I will lower the connections to 2. 50 is the max the news server allowed so I figured the more the better. I will try free -m and post back the results.

Here is the free -m results while downloading with 2 connections;

pi@raspbmc:~$ free -m

Thanks again for the help.

So ... what is the result? Does SAB keep running?

Analysis of your "free -m":
you have a 512MB RAM Raspi. That's good.
You only have 375MB RAM total available to the CPU, which means you have assigned 128MB RAM to the GPU. Does that mean you run X on the Raspi?
You have no swap. That means - in my experience - that if RAM gets full, Linux will kill a process (just like you noticed). *With* swap, a process will get swapped out. That will make the system slower, but it will not kill processes.
