OK.
Now stop SABnzbd and add this after --console:
-s 127.0.0.1:8080 -b1

Possibly it's hanging due to a DNS issue.
If that doesn't work, try:
-s 127.0.0.1:7777 -b1

Could you please clarify if you mean to type this full string?
Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --console-s 127.0.0.1:8080 -b1
Or just the new part?

Almost good, you left out a space:
/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --console -s 127.0.0.1:8080 -b1

Ok, both of those did the same thing as the first part of the command by itself. It clearly starts SABnzbd in the Activity Monitor. But I don't see anything else. Unlike a regular application, there is no icon in the dock. If I look at the Applications available under the "Force Quit" menu, it isn't listed there either. Just Activty Monitor shows it as active and if I try to throw the application away or quit terminal, it says SABnzbd is running. I have never had anything like this happen before.

Can you explain to me at least what I'm supposed to be seeing? Is an actual user-interface supposed to pop up, like when you launch a web browser, for example? What am I looking for? I've been using Unison in the meantime, but I'd rather try this.

I realize now that there's yet another option missing.
/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --console -s 127.0.0.1:8080 -b1 -l2
The last one is "minus-elle-two", which enables debug information.

You're supposed to see something like this (middle part left out):

Once again, no response except launching the process in Activity Monitor. Actually, the first time I typed it in, Terminal waited a second, then spit out the same line in response:
/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --console -s 127.0.0.1:8080 -b1 -l2

You are using Applications->Utilities->Terminal ?

Yes, of course. I posted the screenshot a few messages ago. Didn't you see it? (All I did was block out my Hard drive name + my user folder name.)

I can think of no reason why it would not show any output on your system.
Do you run any "security" software?

None. Just Little Snitch, but it has never asked about any SABnzbd connections.
Have no other Mac users ever reported this issue?

No.
A very few report long term crashes.
As an experiment you could try older releases.

could you recommend one?

Best first try would be 0.6.14.
That does miss some features.

I see no link to older versions on the SABnzbd site. And Google search for 6.14 didn't turn up anything. Is it supposed to be a secret where to find it? If not, may I have the link?
