SABnzbd Forums

I use Giganews unlimited for my news service. I can run Altbinz or any other client just fine. For some reason sabnzbd just dies/stops when in the middle of downloading. There are no errors, nothing out of the ordinary. Anyone have any ideas on why this would happen?

Obviously there's no general solution to this, too many factors involved.
Have you been using SABnzbd for a long time?
What happens if you restart the program?

I was able to download just a few files the first day I started to use the program. Just a day later for some reason with nothing being changed it just stalls and doesn't download. Like the picture I inserted in my original post you can see that it is suppose to be in progress downloading but you'll see there is Zero 0 activity on the download. I've restarted the program, rebooted the computer, checked the event viewer and can't find anything out of the ordinary. I've also uninstalled everything and then reinstalled to be sure. Maybe it just happens to be not compatible with my system.

I have a home 1Gb network with several computers. I use an unRAID server for storage, have several media players, and keep things up to date and efficient. All my hardware is working properly, so I guess I'll just keep trying a few other things and if it doesn't work well then it doesn't work. If anyone has any thing to input or suggest I'll be very appreciated. Thanks!

I just uninstalled everything again. I also uninstalled Sickbeard. What happens for some reason is when I connect SAB to Sickbeard the downloading stops. It will find the NZB files, start to downoad them and just stop and stall out. If I remove Sickbeard completely out of the scenario SAB actually works fine and downloads fine. Very strange, but using them together (connected) must be a problem somewhere. So right now I'm just using Sickbeard as blackhole, but using the same folder for SAB to pick them up. Strange.

The only connection is that SickBeard uses the SABnzbd API.
If SickBeard influences SABnzbd, it must be because it sends certain API calls.
Other than that SABnzbd isn't aware of SickBeard.
