SABnzbd Forums

I have downloaded SABnzbd for 10.5 and 10.6 leopards onto my Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and it looks like it is going to open but nothing happens. I have downloaded the new version of SABnzbd and the same things happens. I cannot delete the program and reinstall because it says that the program is running although i cannot find where it is running at to close the program. Help!

Don't you see a down arrow appear in the OSX top menu?
You should only use the SABnzbd version matching your OSX version.

Absolutely nothing happens when I click on the icon to open SABnzbd. I am using the correct version. After reading some forums, It showed that the wrong version might have been downloaded mistakingly, but I have the correct version at this time.

OK, then open Applications->Utilities->Terminal and type:
/Applications/SABnzbd.app/Contents/MacOS/SABnzbd --console
Enter

Check the output for error messages.

This is what came up:

That means you have made a typo.
What happens if you leave out the --console parameter?
