SABnzbd Forums

Hello Rather new here and not the most savvy at this. Running the latest version 2.3.9 on a dell T410 with windows 10pro as the O.S. I had been having a constant "lost connection to the server" problem for several weeks. Tonight the program wouldn't load on localhoast:8080. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times finally to get her to run on the third attempt. All was running well after setting everything back up and she was downloading away. Got a "lost connection to server" screen seemingly freezing SAB. Now i cannot get sab to launch again. I have uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times. Tried running as admin and still nothing. when trying to launch the browser interface i get "site cant be reached 127.0.0.1 refused to connect.
Thankyou in advance for your help

in your process viewer, make sure SABnzbd.exe is not running.
Then, with File Explorer, go the the directory containing sabnzbd-console.exe, and start it.
What do you see?
Can you connect to SABnzbd?

In my own experience: an intermittent "lost connection to the server" is a SAB / host that is too busy.
On Windows (which I don't use for SAB), it might be a firewall / virusscanner.

I left for work so I'll have check when I get back home.
