SABnzbd Forums

I have sabnzbd run on a old computer. It only runs a few hours a day.

The problem is that it can take the computer about one hour to post-process one download. And sometimes I turn-off the computer while sabnzbd is in the middle of post-processing. Is it possible to get sabnzbd to auto-retry post-processing on the unfinished job when the computer is back online?

No, turning your computer off in the middle of a post-process job is not a good idea.
Why don't you use the shutdown-at-end-of-queue option (in one of the pull-down menus at the right side of the queue).

The case is that sabnzbd is running in background, and the other persons in my house doesn't know how it works, they only use the mediacenter system running on same computer. When they are finish watching movies they shutdown the computer directly from XBMC.

I think it would be a great feature to allow sabnzbd to restart post-processing if for some reason it did not complete.
