SABnzbd Forums

I have a ubunutu VM with Sabnzbd installed with version 0.7.16.

When I have my download's drectory pointed to somewhere outside of the running users download directory and I attempt to download a nzb via API or upload the sabnzbd service locks up.
During the lockup I am not able to create a new web session to the service until I stop the service and start it again.

The sabnzbd.error.log under ~/.sabnzbd/logs is empty and the sabnzbd.log says....

The permissions on the downloads folder is

drwxrwxrwx 4 21 root 0 Dec 28 2013 downloads

The permissions on the incomplete folder is:

drwxrwxrwx 3 21 root 0 Nov 9 14:10 incomplete

I have attempted to remove and purge the package and re-apt-get multiple times.
I am at a total loss. This was working last before last monday but I dont know what has gone wrong.

Thanks!

First of all, the latest stable release is 0.7.20
Second: which operating system runs in the VM?
