Help with NZB Apps

I own a ReadyNAS RNDU4000 with 4x2TB Samsung drives, RAIDiator 4.2.17

As far as I know I have two options for NZB:
- NZBGet
- SabNZBd

I tried NZBGet and it downloaded with my full internet bandwith: 120mbit as 13 MB/sec
But, I tried and tried but I cannot get unpacking working. The page viewtopic.php?f=48&t=21793 says "unrar support added" but I cannot find it.

Then I tried SabNZBd (very wierd I had to pay for it though)
But this App only downloads max at 8.5MB/sec and the limiter is disabled and 30 connections are used.

EDIT: why are there two download folders?
- \\mynas\c\.sabnzbd\downloads
- \\mynas\c\.sabnzbd\Downloads
Both folders contain the dl files, so it's DOUBLE the space on the NAS



So I hope somebody can help me with either: enable unrar in NZBGet or increasing the download speed in SabNZBd

  • Don't forget to shutdown the NZBGet addon before doing any changes.
    You have to restart if you change anything in the configuration.
    You also need unrar and par2 packages. You can install those via SSH. You need SSH access (and apt-get addons)*, which you can get at the follow locations.

    http://www.readynas.com/download/addons ... SH_1.0.bin
    http://www.readynas.com/download/addons ... PT_1.0.bin *

    * -APT_1.0.bin does not work on NVX's

    apt-get update
    apt-get install par2
    apt-get install unrar
  • It doesn't mention anything about the unrar and par2 packages in the manual. That's probably the part I missed. I already have the SSH add on. So I need to ssh in my NAS. Where can I get the unrar and par2 package? Sorry for all these questions but I'm pretty new at this.
  • Just make sure your ReadyNAS can connect to the WWW, it will do the rest for you.... :lol:

    just type:

    apt-get update
    apt-get install par2
    apt-get install unrar
  • Bingo. I started the whole process again by doing the apt-get, creating the directories, editing the files etc. and It's working now. Finally. Great. Thanks a lot for all the help
  • Scheduler is also very usefull:

    add the following to your 'nzbget.conf';

    ##############################################################################
    ### SCHEDULER ###

    # This section defines scheduler commands.
    # For each command create a set of options <TaskX.Time>, <TaskX.Command>,
    # <TaskX.WeekDays> and <TaskX.DownloadRate>.
    # The following example shows how to throttle downloads in the daytime
    # by 100 KB/s and download at full speed overnights:

    # Time to execute the command (HH:MM).
    Task1.Time=07:00

    # Week days to execute the command (1-7).
    #
    # Comma separated list of week days numbers.
    # 1 is Monday.
    # Character '-' may be used to define ranges.
    #
    # Examples: "1-7", "1-5", "5,6", "1-5, 7".
    Task1.WeekDays=1-7

    # Command to be executed (Pause, Unpause, DownloadRate, Process).
    #
    # Possible commands:
    # Pause - pauses download;
    # Unpause - resumes download;
    # DownloadRate - sets download rate in KB/s;
    # Process - executes external program.
    Task1.Command=DownloadRate

    # Download rate to be set if the command is "DownloadRate" (kilobytes/sec).
    #
    # Value "0" means no speed control.
    #
    # If the option <TaskX.Command> is not set to "DownloadRate" this option
    # is ignored and can be omitted.
    Task1.DownloadRate=100

    # Path to the porgram to execute if the command is "Process".
    #
    # Example: /home/user/fetch-nzb.sh
    #
    # If the option <TaskX.Command> is not set to "Process" this option
    # is ignored and can be omitted.
    #Task1.Process=

    Task2.Time=23:59
    Task2.WeekDays=1-7
    Task2.Command=DownloadRate
    Task2.DownloadRate=0
