I am getting a recurring problem where SAB halts progress but still shows a speed, i.e. 366kbs. Nothing will download and I can not shut SAB down in the standard fashion. When I go to end the process I notice that it is using a constant 50% of the CPU. I have to end the process and restart SAB to start downloading again.
This normally occurs after an hour or two into downloading.
Stalled and using 50% CPU

Re: Stalled and using 50% CPU
It's nice to see that people think we're clairvoyant.
This falls in the complaint category "it doesn't work".
Maybe true, but not very useful as a start of solving anything.
You don't name:
- SABnzbd version
- Operating system
- Kind of hardware it runs on
- Does it occur during post-processing?
- Reproducible?
- Specific NZBs or just in general
- Which firewall, anti-virus solutions do you use (ESet is notorious)

Re: Stalled and using 50% CPU
Sorry not the best start! Right let see I can provide some useful info.
Sab Version: 0.4.12
Os: Xp service pack 3, fully updated
Hardware: Acer Laptop, 2gb ram, Intel core Duo, 80gb hdd, 500gb Lacie NAS
Doesn't occur during post-processing.
Is a recurring problem, not sure what situation causes it. I normally notice when I check the progress during the night.
Not specific to any NZB's
Antivirus: Avast! Home edition
Other notes: After downloads complete they are transfered to the NAS drive.
Hope that helps!

Re: Stalled and using 50% CPU
Thanks, but still not specific enough.
I'm going to take the easy way out and advise you to upgrade to SABnzbd-0.5.0Beta6.
Or wait one day until 0.5.0RC3 comes out.
