SABnzbd Forums

does anyone know of any software I can use to just view a nzb file ?
I know its only xml, so I could open it in any text editor, but i'd like to know the date of the downloads contained within the nzb and alter the filename of the nzb to include that date.

apparently, there was a freeware program called 'nzb dump utility' that could do it, but the site is no longer working and I can't find the program anywhere...

my situation is that I have a large amount queued up in newsleecher, but that program is now unstable (guess due to the size of the queue - needs 30 mins to load it!), so i'm slowly transferring everything across to sabnzbd...
i've been extracting nzbs from newsleecher, but haven't been adding dates to the filenames... obviously i'd like to get the older ones first before they disappear... I know sabnzbd can sort by date, but if I add hundreds of nzb files to sabnzbd will that become unstable too?

I would be grateful for any advice..

It shouldn't have a problem doing that. The queue may be a bit difficult to manage beyond just sorting by age, though. I'd make sure you have pagination set to something low like 10 per page and have the queue paused, then add all your nzbs, let it auto-sort by age, then unpause. This way you don't end up with tons of partially started nzbs as it sorts by date.
