Nzb verifying downloaded files taking long time

I've a dual core pc, but the verifying often takes quite long. How to speed it up? Re: Why does verifying take so long? That means throwing multiple cores at the problem doesn't help you during the verifying process. So really, the only way to make it faster is to make sure your hard drives are very fast, and make sure you have a fast but not necessarily multi-core processor. And even if you have the best fastest hard drive on the planet, it's still really complex math.

It's going to be slow. Post by shypike » Wed Nov 26, pm Release 0. This means that a flawless download will not need par2-verification afterwards. On-the-fly is faster because we do the check just before writing a file to disk. Repairs will take just as long, but there a multi-core system will actually help. Post by SliderNL » Sat Nov 29, am I understand it takes time, but it seems that with later version 0,40 and 0,45 it takes a hell of a lot more time than in previous versions.

Post by shypike » Sat Nov 29, am par2 and unrar are done with third-party utilities that haven't changed much since SABnzbd started. SABnzbd has very little influence on performance. If you feel like experimenting, you can replace the par2 and unrar programs with older or newer versions. They are located in the win subfolder of the main SABnzbd folder.

Post by shypike » Mon Dec 01, pm I haven't told the whole story, I'm afraid. Since 0. This is done to lower the disk priority of these programs, since they tend to consume the whole disk channel.

It can be that the nett performance of par2 and unrar is lower now, especially on systems where disk access is needed by other programs.

You could check by renaming ionice to something else and see if that improves performance. I think we will make ionice a user option soon. Post by skeeber » Sat Dec 13, pm Hello, I just installed SABnzbd and so far I like it very much, but the verification process is taking too long.

In my limited usage I have found that when a file is downloaded by itself it takes much less time to verify than when it is part of an nzb containing many files. If the queue is empty, the download is complete. Now verifying, repairing and extracting the downloaded files is necessary. Start General Introduction for beginners Usenet related terms What are incomplete files? What is an NZB file? What are incomplete files? SABnzbd tip! The Connect button has to be 'pushed' so that the text changes to 'Online': The download starts and in the status column you can see NewsLeecher downloading.

In the NewsLeecher status bar we can see the maximum speed NewsLeecher reached while downloading, the current download speed and the free disk space: The graph also provides us with information about the download speed.

VeraCrypt is free software for Windows, Mac and Linux that lets you create encrypted, virtual drives on your computer. Installing NZBGet on a hidden drive is not strictly necessary, but we like installing all our downloading apps as well as saving all our downloaded files!

You can always play with the Settings more later once you are more familiar with Usenet in general and NZBGet in particular. Here's where you will find the most important settings to enter in NZBGet select to zoom. To get off to a fast start with NZBGet, you only need to enter the following data. For all other settings, just leave them as is:.

Try risk-free for 14 days. Good job! The settings you entered in NZBGet work. If your test fails see screenshot below , go back to the list above and double-check that the data you entered is correct and free of typos. In some cases, the connection will fail because you changed the Port setting from its default If so, change the port setting back to and test the connection again.

Something you entered in the Settings is wrong. Once your connection is successful and if you have no additional servers to enter, simply select Save all changes at bottom left of the NZBGet display.

When you set up more than 1 news server in NZBGet, it will try downloading Usenet posts from the servers in the order that you enter them. Normally, you would enter your unlimited monthly Usenet subscription plans first, followed by any Usenet block accounts you have. In our example, we have added a total of 3 news servers to our NZBGet setup. We first added the settings needed for our unlimited monthly subscription plans, Newshosting and Giganews.

Our third news server is a block account we have with Usenet. Farm which is a pay-per-download plan rather than an unlimited monthly subscription. Note below how Usenet. Farm shows you exactly what settings to use for popular newsreaders.

Farm account username and password. Farm as our second news server and Giganews as our third. After entering Giganews as Server 3 and confirming it could connect successfully, to rank Giganews ahead of Usenet.

Farm but still behind Newshosting, we just selected 'Move Up'. Well done. Your configuration has been saved successfully. We will do this via NZB. With more traditional or classic newsreader clients, such as Grabit, you download all the post headers think of these like the subject lines of emails of one or more newsgroups, browse them and then pick the posts you want to download including the files they contain. That process might be OK for smaller files, such as images, but for larger files it takes a long time as they are made up of many many posts.

Plus, there may be missing parts posts in the series that are missing and it only takes 1 or a few missing parts to mess up your download. That can be frustrating! And just like torrents, you can submit the NZB to your newsreader either by downloading an NZB file they are tiny to your computer and then opening it in your newsreader or by submitting the NZB as a URL to your newsreader.

All 3 methods will do the same thing: NZBGet will jump into action and start to find and download the content associated with the NZB you added. Actually, there are a few ways to find NZBs.

An NZB indexer or simply indexer is different from a Usenet search engine. This means that the name of the content you are looking for - whether a filename or movie title - must be contained in the catalog of post headers.

In contrast, indexers take the time and trouble to check the actual contents in Usenet posts and make sure that the NZB is associated with all the right pieces posts no matter what they are named or what newsgroups they are posted to. This lets you browse or do advance searches of indexer content with ease. The best indexers will even display rich information about the content such as reviews for movies or series and episode information for TV shows. Many indexers support thumbnail previews of content too.

Plus, most indexers support RSS feeds. An RSS feed is a way to connect an indexer to NZBGet so that when new content you want becomes available, the indexer will communicate this instantly to NZBGet and it will spring into action and download the content right away.
