You can always create an account at nzb.su - takes a few mins to configure with the newznab plugin. You will need a subscription to the site if you want unlimited API calls.
Popeye:
Once in a while my HD movies won't download fast enough and the movie will stop playing. Can't get more than 20Mbit where I live
I was wondering if it would be possible to calculate how much that should be downloaded before the entire movie could be played without interruption. We know how many rar files that needs to be downloaded, and how long it took to download the first rar file. You could try to fetch the movie length from IMDB and maybe fallback to display the eta. while the movie is paused.
An example could be, that you start streaming the movie BASEketball (mkv in 75 rar files) The first file took 80 seconds to download and we know from IMDB that the movie is 103 mins. long.
Movie length: 6180 seconds.
Remaining download time (74 files * 80 seconds): 5920 seconds.
Buffering time: 6180 - 5920 = 260 seconds.
What do you think?
Good idea. Actually, SAB provides lots of progress and download data that can be used for the calculations. Will put this to the backlog and not let you side track me again ;-)
