eknee1417 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Has anyone here started playing around with Spotweb? I set it up tonight to compare against newznab. No verdict yet on which is better. https://github.com/spotweb/spotweb Link to comment

Helmonder Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Many of us have.. but it doesnt work too well with sickbeard/couchpotato for some refer to this thread: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=24804.0 For me spotweb works great... It is MUCH less resource intensive and it also gets me all the releases I need.. There is an added benefit for users from the Netherlands; Spotweb shows a lot of NL releases that are otherwise hard to come by.. Another big difference is that newznab tries to automatically find releases, spotweb is based around a community inititive, that way if you get a spotweb nzb you are pretty sure its a good one.. I also used to have sql crashes with newznab that were hard to fix, never have had that with spotweb. Last reason for me to use spotweb is that I expect that if every single user will go and run newznab the providers will take action, it creates a lot of extra IO towards their systems.

jangjong Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Oh I'm not saying it's bad lol. I use it all the time too. It's just that I haven't been able to get it to work with Sickbeard. It'll say it found a show from SpotWeb, but the nzb won't be added to sabnzbd for some reason. but then SpotWeb to sabnzbd worked fine from SpotWeb interface... I didn't look too close to it since i have another nzb indexer. Link to comment
kaiguy Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I really want to like spotweb, but I ended up never using it after setting it up. 99% of the comments are in Dutch. Since it relies on spotting and not automated indexing, there is a lag between when a release drops and when it shows up on spotweb. As mentioned before, I could never get it to work with Sickbeard, despite the fact it should, according to the developers. If it ever catches on with a critical mass of English speakers, I may jump back on this. Link to comment
Helmonder Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Exactly why I like it ;-) Link to comment
