chanders Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 No it doesnt and i am not sure if any app will work if you not on the same network.. Quote Link to comment
NAS Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Try this one if you are using Google Chrome https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/jnjalpkoocinmppkagibfbhplifocfgp And this is a great app if you have an iPhone/iTouch http://web.me.com/vijaymason/ Does the myNZB app work even when you aren't connected on your home wifi? For example, at work? Even if it did (which it wont) you would be insane to browse anything usenet related at work Quote Link to comment
ClunkClunk Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 You can set up SABnzbd/your network/MyNZB to be accessible anywhere with port forwarding and dynamic DNS. I can use myNZB from anywhere - 3G or Wifi. Quote Link to comment
manolodf Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Yup, thats what i DO and can access from anywhere Quote Link to comment
NAS Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 and iptables obviously cause anyone crazy enough to trust their network security to random sab code needs their head looked at Quote Link to comment
chanders Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Forgive my ignorance but what is iptables and how does it help? Quote Link to comment
NAS Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 A better way to say it.... Dont allow all of the internet to connect to your sab restrict it with IP filtering using a firewall or even better use a VPN. Just because a program has a password or even built in IP access controls doesnt mean it is secure. By default assume it is not and life will be much safer Quote Link to comment
chanders Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Thanks! I guess I need to look into a hardware firewall or something since I'll need to have a dedicated computer setup as a firewall. I'll look into port forwarding from my DSL router to see if I can access SAB remotely.. Quote Link to comment

bigup Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 ok, managed to get sabnzb and sickbeard working, currently grabbing some new TV episodes. just some questions though say i would like to add a brand new tv show that i want to watch, do i have to create the folder on my array and then get sickbeard to scan for this folder for it to setup auto downloads? also, say i would like to download another another nzb (not tv related), i grab the nzb file, but what do i do with it so sabnzb on my unraid server opens it and starts to download it? thanks Quote Link to comment
Orbi Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 say i would like to add a brand new tv show that i want to watch, do i have to create the folder on my array and then get sickbeard to scan for this folder for it to setup auto downloads? That's how I do it. Just adding a new show without the folder on the array does not work for me. Sickbeard will create the season folders but not the show folder. also, say i would like to download another another nzb (not tv related), i grab the nzb file, but what do i do with it so sabnzb on my unraid server opens it and starts to download it? This has already been answered in this thread. You can either have a firefox or chrome plugin that sends the nzb directly to Sab, or you can create a black hole that is being monitored by SAB periodically. My desktop computer is windows and I use sabnzbd gadget which allows me to dock my queu to the desktop, monitor the downloads and drag and drop NZB to the gadget to sab. Quote Link to comment

Thanks again! im slowly getting it so its perfect for what i want it to do. Quote Link to comment
chanders Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 You can setup sabnzbd to do this when it completes a download. It will place the file in a folder of your choice. You can then choose a share to move it too. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, once you have it all configured it's just a matter of sit back and relax. Throw in a peperroni pizza, and I'm a happy guy. Quote Link to comment
spants Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I am having a few problems with "failed" downloads..... I'm using the latest 2.0 dependencies and if I manually use the PAR2 and associated PARS I can repair it successfully. Any ideas on how to solve? (using newshosting) rgds Spants Quote Link to comment
dlmh Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I have had SabNZBd running for a while now (currently at 0.5.3) and it's working great. Download speeds are as expected (12.5 MB/s on a 120 MBit connection), but repairing and unrarring/unzipping can be dreadfully slow. I have a Samsung F2 500GB (5400rpm) setup as a cache disk and all temporary files are written to it. When finished with par-checking, the archives are extracted on the same disk. At this moment, unpar+repair+unrar takes WAY longer than downloading it. Could I see a speed increase if I replace the cache disk with a 7200rpm version? And would it be faster to extract the finished download directly to the protected array, instead of to the cache disk? Thanks! Quote Link to comment

I'm using the latest 2.0 dependencies and if I manually use the PAR2 and associated PARS I can repair it successfully. I've started using SABnzbd and has been working well for the most part. I do have a couple downloads that FAILED (most have been great). Since I'm so new at this, I haven't found instructions on how to manually do a PAR or how to handle the FAILED. Any tips would be appreciated (links, quick tutorial, etc) Quote Link to comment

Any tips would be appreciated (links, quick tutorial, etc) Depending on your OS (not unRAID!) you have to use an unpar program (MacPar Deluxe for Mac) to check the archive for CRC errors. Then, when that's finished, you'll have to extract the archive with an unrar program like unrar (Mac) or WinRAR (Windows). Some unpar programs also unrar when properly configured or by default. Sometimes the extracting of archives fail in SabNZBd because they are password protected!!! Quote Link to comment

And would it be faster to extract the finished download directly to the protected array, instead of to the cache disk? Those tasks, par, repair, and extract, are mostly bound by two major bottlenecks. The first is the CPU. If you're running on an Intel Atom CPU or ancient or low end Intel or AMD CPUs (P4/Athlon/Semperon) then it will take a long time. The second bottleneck is disk I/O. To maximize performance, you want fast drives for reading (par verify and repair). You also want to extract the files to a different drive than where you're reading from. However I'm not sure if extracting to the protected array directly would be faster than extracting to the same cache drive and moving the files later. Also, to be pedantic, you do not unpar. You par verify or par repair. Quote Link to comment

QuickPar (windows) for the repair, and 7-Zip was able to handle the rar. The 3 FAILUREs I had have all been repaired. Quote Link to comment

You par verify or par repair. I have an Intel Pentium G6950 @ 2.8GHz. It's an Arrendale based CPU on a Intel H55 motherboard, so it's got plenty of power. I also have two Samsung F1 640GB (7200rpm) spare drives, but those "only" have a 320gb platter, while the F2 has a 500GB platter. Since the unrarring and par verify/repair are mainly sequential, not random, disk operations I assume having higher sequential throughput is of greater influence on performance that higher I/O. Or am I just plain wrong/stupid? Quote Link to comment
