SABnzbd Forums

Hi

Just moved to Sabnzbd after using newsleecher for years.

This and Sickbeard together make it great.

One problem I've just noticed is downloading on multiple servers - one is in use and the other is stopped meaning its slow.

Both are active - virgin = 30days (1 meg) and xusenet 600 days (65k each)

When downloading from my current cue some over 140 days only xusenet is being used (2 connections so I get 125k) - however other items in the cue are less than 30 days so surely virgin should be downloading them at 1 meg ?? But no - connections as below.

Server: news.virginmedia.com
Status: Enabled
# Connections: 0

Server: free.xsusenet.com
Status: Enabled
# Connections: 2

Any ideas? How to use both connections ?

Thanks.

What are the parameters you set for each server (except username/password)?
In this scenario you should do something like this:
Virgin: primary server, retention 32
XS: backup server, retention empty.

When you set XS as a primary server, it will slow things down because it will always be tried.

Both are primary - just changed as you suggested and only virgin is now in use.

Will see how it goes thanks. Just finished my current que so nothing to test at the mo.

Thanks.
