[REQUEST - £10 waiting!] SABNZB+

[ch1ptune]

I'm only on a 10 Mbps, which usually gives me about 1 MB/s on most other devices than the WD TV Live. Usually I'm only getting ~5-600 KB/s on the box using SABnzbd. I too have tried tweaking here and there and it did actually help adjusting the number of connections very carefully. Now I am getting ~900 KB/s, but ONLY when the box is on standby. When I am using the interface, the download speed drops immediately, so my guess is that SABnzbd uses much more memory than e.g. NZBGet, which probably is due to python.

But if you haven't yet, try to turn off the WD TV Live via the remote and see if the download speed increases

i will retest my connection speed with python2.5. There is a py-yenc package that should boost the download (encoding) speed a bit.
1,1 MB/s is my standbye speed When i´m using the interface it drops to 100 - 600 kb/s.

SABnzbd uses much more memory than NZBGet. With NZBGet i have around 3000 kb/s. But SABnzdb has that nice RSS auto download feature

[desmoloch]

ch1ptune i created a wiki page with your tutorial

[ch1ptune]

Great idea

I see you updated the links to the newest version of SABnzbd and added a troubleshooting section - nice touch =)

I recently edited my first post to correct the naming of the configuration file. I can see now that I forgot to change the code example accordingly. Would you mind doing that on the wiki page?

Done
You can edit existing wiki pages with your wdlxtv firum user

btw: With python2.5, 4 connections and 50M article cache i get around 2 Mbit/s!

[ch1ptune]

Awesome

I tried changing the article cache to 50M once, but if I recall correctly that resulted in the following error '[Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory' when unpacking. It's a while ago, so the error might have been caused by something else. Anyway, I think I'll give your settings a go

It looks as though a part of the script I originally posted is missing after I've been editing my post, and thus haven't made it to the wiki-page. When trying to edit the wiki, all the URLs mysteriously disappear, so I was wondering if you would take a look at it? This is how the script should look like:

Code: Select all

#!/opt/bin/bash

case "$1" in
start)
  echo "Starting SABnzbd."
  /opt/bin/python2.6 /opt/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -f /opt/share/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini -d
stop)
  echo "Shutting down SABnzbd."
  wget -q --delete-after "]"
;;
*)
  echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
  exit 1
esac

exit 0


Thanks

Changed

'[Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory' is something i get sometimes too. Memory is a real problem!

Do you guys have swapfile enabled? If not, why, sounds like you could use it.

[ch1ptune]

I did, when on 1.05.04, but I went back to 1.02.21 for different reasons, though. I don't remember the swapfile helping with the download speed when using the interface, and since I get almost full speed when my box is on standby with my current settings, the swapfile-solution was not exactly helping me. It might be useful for desmoloch, though, since he is on a faster connection than I. I think I might try it again, once I too get a faster connection =)

Thanks for the tip anyway, b-rad.
