SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

I am using Mac OSX 10.7.4 on an iMac and sabnzbd 0.7.1

My energy saver settings put my mac to sleep after 1 hour of inactivity.

If sabnzbd is downloading a large file (that needs 6 hours) my mac goes to sleep after 1 hour. Why?

Sabnzbd should take my Mac awake until the download has finished.

Please Help

That's because OSX doesn't see what SABnzbd does as "activity".
Unlike Windows, there no way for apps to keep OSX awake (at least none that I know).
There's a free tool in the AppStore, called Caffeine, but I don't know if that will help.
There is an option to let SABnzbd bring OSX into standby when the queue becomes empty.
