SABnzbd Forums

Over the past few months I’ve noticed when I launch into Sabnzbd (rare to do) the history can take a couple minutes to eventually load. It was slow for awhile but now is really really slow, I’m on version 3.5.3. I’m guessing this is my own fault as the history is 2100 pages long and goes back 8 years and still on the same hardware from around that time. Just figured I’d double check with the experts that my only option is to prune out the history. Also I guess I need to figure out how to do that.

In Config Switches, you can set History Retention. There you could for example set to only keep X time period or X number of history items.
The prune action will probably take some time, but should be faster after that.
What number of jobs do you display in your history? The default 10 per page?

Awesome thanks, I’ll try the retention thing. I just have the defaults set so 10 items per page. Not sure why I think I need to keep 10 years of download data….
