SABnzbd Forums

Recently, I've been finding that, when sabnzbd is running, my Intel Mac Mini will constantly drop the network connection to my NAS. I've never seen this happen before and, even though I also download via other apps, the disconnections only occur when sabnzbd is running.

I suspect the problem somehow relates to running it on such an old device, but I'd like to find a way to validate where the problem exists before buying a new server. Any thoughts on how to debug that?

I'm also noticing that sabnzbd is hanging sometimes. When I go to check on it in the menu bar, I just get a spinning wheel

Also getting weird errors like "Cannot create directory" when the directories exist and, if I reboot, it can write to them. If I keep reconnecting the NAS, it has no issues saving files to the directories it says it can't create

From the Mac, for what do you use the NAS? So:

- SAB's Incomplete aka Temp on NAS? Not good! Put it local on your Mac
- SAB's Complete on NAS? Should be OK ... if your NAS and LAN can hande it.

So:

Test with Incomplete on your MAC: still disconnects? If so, put Complete on your MAC and test again
