Hello there,
I have 31 passwords in my password file and I always get the messsage that I should reduce it to a maximum of 30 because of the number of passwords. How do I switch this one message (if possible) off?
Thanks
I use Linux Mint Cinnamon and always have the latest version
:)

As you're running from source, change the value "30" in https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/blob ... sc.py#L786 to something you like

But ... you know why the warning is there, right?

Actually I am a nitwit concerning GitHub etc., is there a simpler way?

No need for github.
On your disk, find the file misc.py in sub directory sabnzbd.
In that file, in the line "if len(pws) > 30:", change the value 30 to something you think is better.

Thank you very much, that did the trick. And yes, I know why there's a maximum but come on, 31? ;))

31 is better? Or 32? Or .. 50, or 100? In the past we've seen users with 100's of passwords in the password file ... complaining about slow speed ... :)

Good that it works for you.

Ah, that's helpful / helpfull.

I had searched for "max" and/or "password" in sabnzbd.ini ... which I did not find.
