What is wrong with python?

Sab is frozen.  Python owns my system.

Any ideas?

Sab stops responding on 8081 completely, and my system load stays above 2-2.5 all the time.  I have tried to kill -9 the python process and then restart it by hand, but that doesn't work.

 

Any time Sab stops responding completely, the only thing I can do is reboot the server.  And right now, Sab stays interactively "usable" for anywhere from 5-30 minutes before its completely hung (although its still downloading) before I have to reboot.

How did you set up Sabnzbd (plg file, via unmenu)?  Which version are you running? 

 

Many people use Influencer's plugin successfully. 

 

A friend of mine had problems with Sabnzbd hanging his ESXi server when it was checking PARs - it turned out to be bad memory, so you may want to check into that.

I'm using Influencer's plugins.

 

Tried new RAM, same result.
