SABnzbd Forums

Recently I have been encountering strange problem with SABnzbd. About twice per week a file in the que will finish downloading and then move to history for post processing and unpacking, etc... The file gets stuck in this stage and prevents any other files from unpacking.

Restarting SABnzbd doesn't seem to help. Usually I have to give my computer a hard restart which is annoying to say the least. I've been using SABnzbd for over 2 years and have never encountered this problem until recently.

I am using a late 2010 mac mini with OSX 10.8 (latest version). I am also using the latest version of SABnzbd (0.7.6)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also thanks to all the brilliant developers for making such a great newsreader.

Use the ActivityMonitor to see on which it hangs.
Par2 and unrar are the most likely candidates.
Use the ActivityMonitor to kill the hanging program
Instead of restarting the computer.
