Hi, I downgraded to 0.6.15 and download speeds seemok however the files still stick in the download queue for ages before moving into the history queue to begin unpacking.

Just to give you some more information which may help you, I am running my downloads (SAB) with Sickbeard and CouchPotato Server on my Mac Pro. I tried installing SAB 0.7.3 on my Macbook Pro Retina and it works perfectly, so the issue is only on the Mac Pro. My Mac Pro is still on Lion, but my Macbook Pro is on Mountain Lion. Not sure if this helps but its the only big difference I can see between the two installs.

EDIT: Something I just noticed; it seems to hang in the download queue a length of time which is related to the number of items in the download queue. For example, if I download a full season of say 10 episodes, the downloads wait in the download queue upon completion for an hour or more. I have just downloaded one episode and it stayed in the download queue for maybe 10 minutes before moving for unpacking.

Ignore that, download speeds are still broken.

So far I cannot comment on the speeds.
As far as I can tell there's no reason within SABnzbd for it.
Doesn't mean there isn't a reason.
I am looking at queue-to-history transfer. There is something going on there.
Might take a while before I figure this out, especially because you report different results
on different systems.
As far as SABnzbd is concerned, ML and Lion are the same OS.

In the coming week I'll try a fresh install of lion. I only use the mac pro for downloads so I may as well give it a shot. Maybe something is wrong with lion?

Hi, just to let you know I reinstalled Lion and SAB now works. No idea what caused it but its working now after a full OS wipe and reinstall.
Thanks for your help

Glad this solved it for you, because I got no further in finding a cause...
