SABnzbd Moves Quickly, Then Stops? Here's Why

SABnzbd may show fast progress while estimating a long completion time—only to fail. This usually signals that the post isn't available through your current Usenet server.

Hover your mouse over the item while SABnzbd is running. You'll likely see a warning about missing articles.

Solutions

1. Review Article Availability

   • Missing articles during transfer usually mean the post is incomplete.

2. Supplement with Another Provider

   • Posts not found on one server may exist on another with different article retention.

3. Switch to a Reliable Indexer

   • Some Indexers are more up-to-date and list only accessible articles.
