Are you using IPV6? not that I know of @_@
Is the issue reproducible? Yes

When I tried to add to SAB I get this:

2009-01-16 16:56:55,858 ERROR [sabnzbd] Failure in tempfile.mkstemp

Also getting this:

2009-01-16 18:19:00,015 ERROR [sabnzbd] Saving C:\Documents and Settings\John\Local Settings\Application Data\sabnzbd\cache\rss_data.sab failed

but may be unrelated =/

Have you checked if the mentioned folder actually exists?
It also looks like the system location for temporary file does not exist.

Any experience with the CMD.exe command line program?
If so, open a cmd.exe window and type:
And see if you get any error messages.

K just tried that and no error messages.

I'm pretty sure the right folders and such exist. For system folders "logs" folder and "cache" file are there

Edit: Have also uninstalled and reinstalled several times.

You have "C:\Documents and Settings\John" for the user profile.
Is this literally "John" or is it a name with accented characters (e.g. "Rène").

One alternative is to start SABnzbd like this:

SABnzbd.exe -f d:\data\sabnzbd.ini

Replace "d:\data" by a path of your own preference.
This will tell SABnzbd to create all of if working folders in d:\data instead
of your user profile.
You can copy the previous sabnzbd.ini to the new location first, this will
save you typing in all settings again.

Baaahhhh

I fixed it

Take care.

Wow, what an obscure problem!

I'll see if SABnzbd can report this better.
Proves that software developers can never be paranoid enough.
