SABnzbd Forums

I started having trouble downloading from Newzbin last night.

My setup is that I have the SABTAB in Firefox, so in Newzbin I check the TV show I want, click the SABTAB to add it to my queue.  Its worked great up until last night.  When I add a post to the queue it hits the queue for a second and then goes away.

Also I have SABNZBD on a Mac and 2 XP machines.  None of them work anymore.  My Newzbin account is active with credit and my Giganews account is good.

The funny thing is if I downlaod the .nzb file and open it with a newsreader (Newsrover) it works fine.

Any ideas?  Thanks a lot!

Have you tried to feed the NZB manually to SABnzbd?
Have you looked for errors or warnings in the Connections screen?

We do not support SabTab, so we do expect you to check first if SABnzbd is
the actual cause.

Yes I have tried manually posting the postid into SABNZBD and that doesn't work either.

Actually I may have found the issue.  I am running an older version of sabnzbd and read a post that said since Newzbin switch strictly to v3.newzbin.com the old versions dont work anymore.  can you verify this...could this be my problem?

Yes, that is your issue.

Please upgrade, we do not support version 0.2.5. It was release by the old developer nearly two years ago.

Thanks

Thnaks that worked.

Two more quick questions...

What is the latest version for the Mac?  0.3.4?

On a Windows PC how do I start sabnzbd on a port other than 8080, I want to start it on port 80.

Thanks for the help guys!

The mac ".app" versions are unofficial releases, however two kind souls have kept up with br41n's work and release the latest versions not long after they are made available:
raf's releases: http://osx.boiboite.net/
sbultez latest release: http://forums.sabnzbd.org/index.php?topic=712.0

I cannot vouch for their quality, but all reports have been good.

As for your windows question, you can specify the port in Config>General page. A restart is needed for the change to take effect.
If for some reason you cannot do it that way, then you can launch the exe with the extra command: -s localhost:80
Two ways of doign this are adding it to the properties of a shortcut, or launching from the run(Start>Run) with a command such as:
"C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe -f localhost:80"

Thanks again for the help guys I really appreciate it!

WRONG: the correct way is:
"C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe -s localhost:80"

The -f is for specifying a different INI file.

Whoops, of course, that is late night support for you!
