SABnzbd Forums

hi guys,

how topic says...mostly big files are failing on repairing (2-4 gb<).
for example: i load 1 file 3 times for testing and every time are missing another numbers of repairblocks (54, 76, 41).
also the dl-speed is much to slow. (2 mbyte/s - normaly 10-12 mbyte/s - 100 mbit/s-line)
the curiosity is that my other reader "unison" has no problems w/ the same .nzb or .rar/par2 files.

i had already send once mail to bugs (at) sabnzbd (dot) org, but I did not get a response.

sabnzbd: 0.6.5
system: os x (10.6)
install-type: .app
browser: firefox 5.0
provider: astraweb
firewall: none
ipv6: no
reproducible: yes


if you need more informations, pls let me know.
hope someone can help!

best regards

What can I say?
On my modest miniMac it downloads with a speed of 11MBytes/sec.
Using Giganews.
Have you tried downgrading to release 0.5.6?
We have seen some spurious reports of lower speeds for 0.6.x, which we cannot confirm.

ähm what can i say?
i've changed the provider ^^
now everything is running great...

on 0.5.6 i had the same probs and unison had now also probs with these big .nzb

i can not say if the problem is only by astraweb-servers, for me is important that it works fine now

on astraweb news page are 2 article from june 26, maybe it has to do with it

There were some network issues out of our control that lasted about 3 hours. This would have affected all users and we're working with our network providers to bring things back to normal.

We are looking into and fixing the issue with article completion for articles at and around the 110-130 day old mark. This issue is unrelated to the Network Instability issue posted earlier today.
Completion will return gradually as the articles are recovered.
We regret and apologise for this incident, and our engineers are working with urgency to rectify the problem.

that do not explain why .nzb has work w/ unsion so far and sabnzbd did not, but it was decisive for my decision to change the provider

i'm happy now

thanks and best regards

There have been quite a few complaints about situations that also involved Astraweb.
Maybe it's time I took a closer look at that.
(Although spending money on a suspect provider is rather demotivating...)
