SABnzbd Forums

I know there are many threads about this, but none of the ones I read had a solution to this.

When I use Sabnzbd to download an nzb file, it doesn't download. The connection to the news server is connected and also fine, AFAIK. Sometimes it'll go to 3% then drop back to 0%.

Is there something I didn't do right when setting up the connection or from when I added the NZB file?

Let's do some basic checks yet:
Are you using SABnzbd 3.3.1?
What happens when you click Test Server in Config > Servers?
What happens when you use the 100MB test-download in the Status and Interface settings window (the wrench icon)?

I'm using SABnzbd 3.3.1. When I click Test Server, it says "Connection Succesful!" and the 100MB test download goes through; it just takes a while.

NOTE: Since I last posted, the file I'm downloading has gone up to 10%. I guess it's just a slow download speed? It is 11.4GB. The eta shows as 79:10:17:51 which I'm guessing is days:hr:min:seconds. If it's just a slow download speed, is there a way to correct it?

How many servers do you use?
And how many connections? Try with a low number, like 10.
Otherwise, in the Status window switch logging to Debug and then after a while click Show Logging. It will show anything special about the connections, if there's timeouts or anything.

How can I post the log here?

The problems are timeouts, your log is full of it.
Either you are in a remote location, your ISP is blocking usenet or bad wifi maybe?
Try a different newsserver provider and use less connections. Even with 15 connections I can easily get 20MB/s.
