SABnzbd with par2cmdline on WL500gP

[mistraller]

Can you tell me how to upgrade from the former version? I upgraded par2cmdline, but how about patching sadnzbd?

DrChair,

well, that's very good news, I will look into that when I get home.


--oth--
SAB & Hella are driving me nuts.
each one has its pros and cons.
SAB is doing everything, but it is very unstable
Hella is stable but will only unpack like 10% of the downloaded packages.

Right now, I'm using Hella to download, because it actually downloads and keeps running. I've disabled unraring in Hella and wrote my own script to handle the unpacking.
The script is now in an testing stage and the only thing I have to solve is how to unpack files which have a space in the filename:
(I parse the filename to a variable, check the variable for its contents, it has the content it is supposed to have, but then when issueing the unrar command the filename gets cut-off after the first space, So 'Friends Bloopers.rar' is ending up in

unrar e -o-- 'Friends.rar'

instead of

unrar e -o-- 'Friends Bloopers.rar'

Nevertheless, when polishing off the script is done so it can handle this too I will publish it here.

In the mean time, I will look into the updates you've made to the tutorial. Thanks for the good work !

I agree about the pros and cons. I'm also running hellanzb now for a few days and it seems much less hungry for memory. I've downloaded about 10 packages and they all unpacked just perfect.

Have you tried reinstalling your router?
And if you download a failed package again, does it also fail again?
Have you tried turning on debugging in hellanzb?

But to get back on the topic, packages for both SABnzbd and Hellanzb have been added to the feed.
Check startpost for instructions on SABnzbd.
instructions for Hellanzb will follow in a separate topic.
