The final release of SABnzbd 2.0 has been released. With SABnzbd files can be downloaded from usenet. This open source program is available for Windows, Linux and OS X, and offers the possibility to load nzb files, after which the correct files are picked from usenet. With the built-in web interface it is possible to operate the program via a web browser. The most important improvement in version 2.0 is SABYenc, a module that can quickly decode Usenet articles and thus ensure a higher download speed. The changelog for version 2.0 looks like this:

New in 2.0.0: SABYenc

  • To improve SABnzbd’s performance on systems where CPU power is limiting
    download speed, we developed a new C-module called SABYenc to accelerate the
    decoding of usenet articles that can use multiple threads and is more efficient.
    Not only low-powered systems like NAS’s or Raspberry Pi’s benefit, with this
    new module speeds can increase up to 2x compared to 1.xx releases on any
    system where the connection/newsserver capacity was not fully used.
    The Windows and macOS releases automatically include this module, for other
    platforms an installation guide can be found here.

Changes/improvements in 2.0.0:

  • Windows and macOS releases now also come in 64bit versions.
    The installers will install the appropriate version automatically.
    Therefore, on 64bit Windows the installation directory will change to
    ‘Program Files’ instead of ‘Program Files (x86)’.
    On Windows our tests showed an additional 5-10% gain in download speed
    when using 64bit SABnzbd on 64bit Windows.
  • Linux: Detect if Multicore Par2 is installed.
    Multicore Par2 is now easily available through the PPA and other channels.
  • Post-processing scripts now get additional job information via SAB environment
    variables.
  • Certificate Validation set to ‘Strict’ for newly added newsservers
    The insecure Certificate Verification level ‘Default’ is now called ‘Minimal’.
    In case of problems, see here for more information.
  • Removed Secondary Web Interface option.
