Scheduling

[FriedPiper]

Hi. Newbie alert!!!


I'm having a heck of a time; no matter what I do, I can't seem to have scheduled events actually 'take place'.

ie: local ISP is free-run after 1am so I'm trying to automate limiting the speed until 1am and then open up, then at 8am, pause.

I've tried deleting all schedules, making new ones, making changes and then restarting... still nothing.

Help?

I don't want to stay up till 1am just to hit 'go'. It's a computer for Pete's sake...I should be able to tell it what to do, when!

Much Thanks

Show us your schedule.
Which OS do you use?

[FriedPiper]

I just cleared the schedule last night in troubleshooting and created new ones one at a time minutes apart, but no effect. Inserting screenshot of what I just set up today. Idea is to open up at 1am, slow down at 8am

Running Mac OS 10.6.6

I noted that there is a 'speed limit' schedule but not a 'un- speed limit'. I was assuming that would be 'resume'.

You'd have to set your transfer speed to maximum, insert a 'speed limit' schedule to keep it ISP-safe, and then release the speed limit at a time I choose?

Thanks for response.

Speedlimit and resume do different things.
So you either program a pause/resume couple
or a speedlimit=800 / speedlimit=0 couple.
speedlimit=0 means "no limit".

Explained here: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-scheduling-v2
That part is a little light on info, so I'll expand that a bit.

Thank you. But I don't see how you can adjust your speed limit in the scheduling area.

However, my bigger issue is that I couldn't get ANY schedule to take effect.

I do seem to be able to pause and resume now successfully.

Where/how would I enter such "speedlimit = 800" / "speedlimit = 0"?

Thanks

Come again?
The "Action" pull-down menu contains all actions, including "speedlimit".
In the "Argument" box below that you type the limit, where 800 means 800 kBytes/sec.

[FriedPiper]

Aha!
Argument.

That explains it.

Thank you.

But in which form would you type that in? I tried punching that into the argument field but they didn't take effect.
Must be a formatting thing?

[shypike]

Select time.
Select "Speedlimit" in the Action field.
Type something like 800 in the Argument field.
Click "Add Schedule".

Thank you!
That worked perfectly.
We'll see what happens tonight!
