SABnzbd Forums

I'm not familiar enough to understand what the log is telling me but I'm not able to get my RSS Feed. If I try to download and open the NZB nothing seems to happen. The log entry below tells me something about the RSS issue (what, I'm not sure) but there does not seem to be any thing in there about trying to open the NZB. I'm not sure if this is related to upgrading to Lion but I doubt it as everything was working 2 days ago on 0.6.9. Currently on 0.6.10 on OS X Lion. Is this a problem with sabnzbd or nzbmatrix?

I had the same yesterday (about 10 hours ago).
Their RSS service was down again, maybe it still is.
I checked with the browser too, it just gave an empty page.

Just FYI, it looks like this is still an issue with NZBMatrix. Although my bookmarks do show up on the site, I cannot read the feed from my SAB client.

*sigh* Looks like manual downloads for now.

I can't get manual downloads to work either and I've no idea why or what to look for. Any ideas? I can download them but they never show in the queue when I open them. Should I not see something in the logs?

P.S. http://nzbmatrix.info/ shows that RSS feeds are offline intentionally due to performance issues. No reason I can see why my manual NZBs should not work though

What is "manual downloads" in your case?
Do you mean download the NZB to disk and then upload it to SABnzbd (or use the watched folder)?
If that fails too, check the content of the NZB file, does it look like one?
If you are using nzbmatrix URLs, that will probably fail too due to nzbmatrix problems.

hamah, "manual download" means to download the nbz file to your local disk then in SABnzbd click Add NBZ (upper right), click Browse.., locate the name of the nbz file you downloaded and click open, then click Upload. That should automatically add it into your queue.

In the past I would just right click on the downloaded NZB and select "open with..." and then go to my applications folder and choose sabnzbd. While that was not working this time the method Bonksnp described worked fine. Thanks for the tip.
