SABnzbd Forums

My guess is not very well.  I have just started using sabnzbd+ with SickBeard and Couch Potato in the last few days.  On a couple of occasions I have restarted either my computer or sabnzbd+ and it seems like the downloads that were in progress at the time started over from the beginning again, or very nearly so.  For example, last night when I shut down my computer there was a download in process that was 11.9GB in size and at the time of shutdown there was 8.2GB remaining.  When I restarted this morning, just a couple of minutes after restarting there was 10.6GB remaining so approximately 2.5GB had to be re-downloaded.  I have only noticed these numbers a couple of times, but each time it seems like there is way too much data that has to be re-downloaded.  Is this typical?

Thanks,

Wayne

You should shutdown SABnzbd properly.
Windows is too impatient when it tries to shutdown programs before its own shutdown.
This problem is especially present when you have a large article cache.
The alternative is to save everything to disk every five second, killing for performance.

BTW: when running SABnzbd 0.6.0 (rc) as a Windows Service it will get enough shutdown time from Windows.
