# SABnzbd - Basic Setup

--8<-- "includes/downloaders/basic-setup.md"

|
------
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
Settings that aren't covered means you can change them to your own liking or just leave them on default.
|
|
|
|
** I also recommend to enable the `Advanced Settings` on the top right. **
|
|
|
|
## General
|
|
|
|
### Tuning
|
|
|
|
`Settings` => `General` => `Tuning`
|
|
|
|
|
|
I recommend setting a sane maximum speed and then limiting below that, to keep your internet connection happy. You can use `Settings` => `Scheduling` to toggle the limit on and off based on time, slowing it down while your family is using the internet and speeding it up at night when they're not.

## Folders
|
|
|
|
### User Folders
|
|
|
|
`Settings` => `Folders` => `Users Folders`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here you setup your download path/location.
|
|
|
|
!!! Warning "ATTENTION"
|
|
|
|
1. You set your download location in your download client
|
|
1. Your download client **ONLY** downloads to your download folder/location.
|
|
1. And you tell Radarr where you want your clean media library
|
|
1. Radarr imports from your download location (copy/move/hardlink) to your media folder/library
|
|
1. Plex, Emby, JellyFin or Kodi should **ONLY** have access to your media folder/library
|
|
|
|
:bangbang: __**Your Download and Media Library should be **NEVER** the same locations**__ :bangbang:
|
|
|
|
### System Folders
|
|
|
|
`Settings` => `Folders` => `System Folders`
|
|
|
|
|
|
I recommend the .nzb Backup Folder because sabnzbd doesn't have a hidden history and having remove from history enabled in Sonarr/Radarr is the best method. This allows you to see your past downloads and it is used for duplicate download detection/prevention. Default is empty, I picked history because it is easy. It'll end up in the `/config` folder for Docker, which isn't crazy... but this is literally compressed nzb files, so can end up pretty big. But the choice is yours what you prefer.

## Switches
|
|
|
|
### Queue
|
|
|
|
`Settings` => `Switches` => `Queue`
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. When during download it becomes clear that too much data is missing, abort the job. and makes sure Sonarr/Radarr will get a notification and can look for another release.
|
|
1. Since we have the .nzb history folder, you can decide what you want to do here w/ duplicate downloads. Mine is set to Tag job, but Pause or Fail job may make sense too.
|
|
1. In case of "Pause", you'll need to set a password and resume the job. or you set it to "Abort" and Sonarr/Radarr can look for another release.
|
|
1. Suggest this sort so that the most likely to still be there stuff is downloaded first.
|
|
1. If your hardware isn't up to snuff, including cpu and/or io performance, disabling Direct Unpack and/or enabling Pause Downloading During Post-Processing can help. Defaults are fine for most hardware though.
|
|
|
|
### Post processing
|
|
|
|
`Settings` => `Switches` => `Post processing`
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. If your hardware isn't up to snuff, including cpu and/or io performance, disabling Direct Unpack and/or enabling Pause Downloading During Post-Processing can help. Defaults are fine for most hardware though.
|
|
1. Only unpack and run scripts on jobs that passed the verification stage. If turned off, all jobs will be marked as Completed even if they are incomplete.
|
|
1. Unpack archives (rar, zip, 7z) within archives.
|
|
1. This can help with subs that are in folders in the rar because sonarr/radarr don't look in sub-folders.
|
|
1. Some servers provide an alternative NZB when a download fails. I have it enabled no guarantee that it works.
|
|
1. Helps with de-obfuscation, but probably is handling the same case sonarr/radarr do okay with. Not sure how this one does, I have it enabled, but its also newish.
|
|
1. When sorting, use tags from indexer for title, season, episode, etc. Otherwise all naming is derived from the NZB name.

## Recommended Sonarr/Radarr Settings
|
|
|
|
The following settings are recommended to for Sonarr/Radarr, else it could happen that Sonarr/Radarr will miss downloads that are still in the queue/history.
|
|
Being that Sonarr/Radarr only looks at the last xx amount in the queue/history.
|
|
|
|
### Sonarr

|
|
|
??? example "Sonarr"
|
|
|
|
`Settings` => `Download Clients`

|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure you check both boxes under `Completed Download Handling` at step 3.
|
|
|
|
Select Sabnzbd at step 4 and scroll down to the bottom of the new window where it says `Completed Download Handling` and check both boxes.
