Re: Sab downloads killing network performance

You were right! I tried a torrent download and it did the same exact thing, so it's definitely not Sab. You guys can delete this thread if you like, since it makes it sound like Sab is causing problems.

Re: Sab downloads killing network performance

When Sab is paused, ping from one wired device to another on my LAN averages 2ms. When Sab is downloading it's 600ms. Having IPv6 checked or not doesn't seem to matter now.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Re: Sab downloads killing network performance

Also, since this began Sab has begun downloading at just 1MBps (that's megaBYTES). I'm on a 100Mb connection and typically see 8-9MBps (megaBYTES) downloads in Sab. Has anyone seen this before? Only when using bittorrent (and other high-upload traffic applications) on an asymmetric Internet connect...

Re: Remote management with VPN possible?

I ended up running a RaspPi that forwards the ports of all my apps to the media server running them. That way the media server can run a VPN and external traffic can get to it via the RaspPi. All it took was one configuration file to do the routing. I believe I found the instructions in a Reddit thr...

Re: Sab downloads killing network performance

I would really be surprised if the above is really caused by the bug in 080beta1; that bug can 'only' slow down the setting up of the connections to the newsserver, and only in certain circumstances (if the OS thinks there is IPv6 connection, but there is not). After that, the download speed should...

Re: Sab downloads killing network performance

It just started doing it again. No IPv6 is still checked. Back to unusably slow.

Re: Sab downloads killing network performance

Great, thanks for the quick fix. I was afraid my router was crapping out on me for a while there.

That's actually done it. How strange. Any idea what causes IPv6 to break things that badly?

Re: Sab downloads killing network performance

~20Mbps up. Wouldn't the router's CPU usage be higher than normal if Sab was saturating a 100Mb connection?

Still no idea what would cause this all of a sudden when I've made no changes.

Sab downloads killing network performance [solved]

This is an odd one. Just in the last two or three days I've noticed my network crawling at random. I finally figured out that it only happens when Sab is actively downloading something (anything). No settings have changed recently, either in Sab or on my router, with the exception of changing number...
