SABnzbd not downloading

Post by caizizuofang »

Hi experts,

I recently installed SABnzbd on my HDA (my home server) and whole instllation was pretty smooth. The seed NZB was recognized and corresponding item is also being displayed on SABnzbd download queen dashboard.However, the downloading status's been stuck there 3 days without any progress. Apparently my SABnzbd application encountered some difficulty. Any advice on this incident? Thanks a bunch in advance. :)

The usual remarks / checks:

Did SABnzbd ever download correctly?
Config -> Server: what do you get when you click on Test Server?
SABnzbd and the download isn't paused, is it? SABnzbd is paused if the pause logo in the upper right corner is Red.
Any warning in your SAB screen?

I'm very rookie for the thing. Please see my answers.
Did SABnzbd ever download correctly?
No
Config -> Server: what do you get when you click on Test Server?
This should be the root cause....I used the default server setting without any tweak....I registered account on Newshosting but I'm wondering if I leverage the Newshosting server info to download stuff whose NZB file comes from other website?

SABnzbd and the download isn't paused, is it? SABnzbd is paused if the pause logo in the upper right corner is Red.
It used be pause but now it's functional since I added valid server info.

The remaining question is that any good free NZB server I can use? Thanks.

I use old-skool binsearch.info and nzbindex.nl (for RSS)

Yes. It's working since I put right server parameters. Please close the string. Thanks!
