10049 - Address not available

[JosevanDendermonde]

This is weird...
I know that one of my accounts was over its download quota. However, SabNZBd always told me that on the connection screen, something like: error: cannot connect error 482 - download limit reached.

However, my account today has been reset so I have a new 50GB to download. I now tried SabNZBd (beta5) again and voila: it works again...

It seems that one way or another it now gives a 10049 error even though the fault lies within a data limit which is reached. At least that seemed to be the problem with me. I didn't notice this because normally SABnzbd told me the exact cause: data limit reached.

So now I am back to using SABnzbd again. Very weird.

If I can help in any way let me know. Thanks again for all the help, thanks a lot!

Good to hear that it works again.
I have done a bit of testing with quicknet.
It's a bit of  weird server. I get the impression that it only asks for a username and not a password.
Is this true?

Unfortunately, you won't be able now to collect information about
what happens when your out of your quotum.
Quota are not a part of the official NNTP standard, which means that each provider
has implemented it's own error messages.
What I will do for the next release, is to add the full error message that comes from the server
in the error message given by SABnzbd. That way, you can draw your own conclusions.
I think we may have taking the interpretation of server messages too far.
Anything out of the ordinary should be passed on to the user.

I get the 'Address not available - Check for internet or DNS problems'
It does not give the slightest hint of even trying to connect to the ip or hostname. Although there are no problems connection to the usenet server from another computer or doing a ping from the sabnzbd computer.
So just generally odd. And as I said I do get connections at random intervals, but they drop out after a while. And checking in the Connections pane I see Failed to connect: (110, '[Errno 111] Connection refused').
Which makes no sense since there is no problem connecting on another computer.

Truly strange.
"Connection refused" normally means that the server doesn't
have the service (nntp in this case) running.
E.g. if you use "localhost" as a server, you'll get that message,
because obviously your PC doesn't have an nntp service.

Which operating system (be exact) are you using?
Where did you get the package from?
If not using the binaries, which Python do you have.
Use SSL (secure news)?

I think that implementation is a good idea.
I'm very happy to be running it fine again but if I run into any problem I will post again!

From re-reading your post, I gathered what the server is actually sending.
Earlier releases displayed the message that comes from the server.
Later we "interpreted" the messages, which doesn't always work for non-standard messages.
The 0.5.0 Final will show the server messages again.

Thanks for your patience and for helping improve SABnzbd.

Using ubuntu 9.10. And i used the unofficial ubuntu repo for sabnzbd.
I am using SSL.

I tried turning off SSL and used the non-secure DNS and it started working right away and gave me 10MB/sec instantly (never had that high before, usually just lands at 6). Oddish.

Edit:
Tested the SSL again on windows and there was no problem at all. Gave me a solid 8MB/sec instantly with no time outs or refused connections. So seems logical that there is something funky about the SSL bit. Broken package or something? The error log for sabnzbd is empty however, so not much help there.

Thanks Shypike, that's great! I'm glad I could be of service!

First of all: SSL is simply more expensive for the server and the client.
Performance also depends on the quality of the SSL libraries.
For SABnzbd it makes no difference, but the underlying libraries make the CPU work harder.

I'll do some additional tests for SSL on Ubuntu.

Edit: no issues on Linux Mint (which is a derivative of Ubuntu).
