SABnzbd Forums

Hi - I'm a long term Sab user currently running on Ubuntu 14.04.3 and since updating from .7.2 to .8.0beta1 I've seen that there is always a pause of a good few minutes between adding an item to the queue and download starting.

I've had a look through all the config screens and cannot see why this might be.

Apologies if I've missed something simple!

hmmmm - a look in the log reveals this:

4 seconds between each connection - is this something new in .0.8?

Yes, a bug in 0.8.0 beta1. Mea culpa!

Workaround: instead of ssl.astraweb.com fill out an IP address of ssl.astraweb.com, for example 193.202.122.169 or 193.202.122.130

Solved in the upcoming 0.8.0 beta2 (and the current git version)

Thanks for the quick reply Sander !
