Sabnzdb: 0.54
XP SP3
Installer.

Getting a few timeout errors - at least 1 every week or two - very intermittent.

Clicking on the gui interface - after a few mins I get:

Unrecoverable error in the server.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "cherrypy\_cpwsgi.pyo", line 79, in setapp
  File "cherrypy\_cpwsgi.pyo", line 219, in get_response
  File "cherrypy\_cprequest.pyo", line 579, in run
TimeoutError

If I leave it for a few  minutes and refresh it comes back to life.

The error message itself does no harm, it's just the timeout of the internal web server.
This can happen if SABnzbd is very busy internally.
Usually because of a very large queue or a polluted cache folder.
When your queue is empty, check the content of the "cache" folder (See Config->General).

Thanks - i think its when it gets very busy unraring large files. Its not the fastest PC

OK, I see.
Windows has the problem that even the lowest priority task can start thrashing the hard disk.
Since SABnzbd needs  to access the hard disk for the web UI, the response will suffer.
