Using SABnzbd with Eweka: Access and Troubleshooting Tips

SABnzbd is a popular Usenet automation tool that processes articles from NZBs using a simple browser interface. When paired with Eweka, it helps maintain consistent access to Usenet articles across a variety of newsgroups.

Interface Basics After setting up SABnzbd, open the Web interface at http://localhost:8080. This dashboard displays the current queue, completed items, history, and access settings.

Common SABnzbd Tasks

  • Monitor the article queue for progress and errors

  • Adjust priority levels for different tasks

  • Pause or resume processing when needed

  • Access logs for debugging

Troubleshooting SABnzbd

Stuck Repair Process

If an article is stuck during the repair stage, it may block the entire queue. Open your operating system’s task manager and end the par2 process manually. SABnzbd will mark the affected item as failed, and the remaining queue should continue. You may need to manually verify the failed item.

NZB Added But Nothing Happens

Check your SABnzbd configuration for:

  • A valid Eweka server setup

  • Correct authentication credentials

  • Proper Usenet Indexer integration

  • Port accessibility

Speed Slower Than Expected

Test different ports (e.g., 563 with SSL or 119 without) and adjust connection threads. Eweka supports multiple connections; increase or decrease threads based on your Internet speed and SABnzbd performance.

Post-Processing Fails

Inspect the SABnzbd logs under the 'History' tab. Errors during verification or unpacking can often be resolved by adjusting the unpack settings or by switching to external tools.
