Re: Speed Limit Based on download priority

I've just noticed that setting priority to forced does in fact bypass the pause, so the feature i need is already there! :)

Re: News: Multiple Canadian ISP's will begin charging for bandwidth come 2011

It's not that uncommon a practice in the UK, either - nearly all ISP's will either throttle your speed down after you reach a usage CAP, or charge extra, or simply kick you off the service. Some just ask you to schedule bulk transfers to off peak times. The sad thing is, often ISP's aren't transpare...

Re: Speed Limit Based on download priority

I also was just about to suggest something similar.. I'm looking to either bypass speed limit for high priority items, or auto resume-pause. I'm currently scheduling pausing during the day, but it would be nice to be able to automatically bypass this for high priorty items. Would be just as happy to...

Re: upstream usage

so, I solved this eventually - after messing around with various test's on clean installs and updating sabnzbd, I slowly ruled out hardware and other considerations until i found a few weird kernel network tuning parameters that I'd tried to use to speed up samba. Took them out, and walla, identical...

Re: upstream usage

so, the windows box performs identically to newsbin - downloads at close to 50Mb/s and uploads around 1Mb/sec

First I'm going to try updating the freebsd box to 0.5.6, then I'll look at network tuning. Anyone have any ideas where to start?

Re: upstream usage

Hi There, Thanks for your replies - appreciate your input. The upstream usage seems pretty consistent over multiple NZB files - I've tried less and more connections than newsbin, doesn't seem to make too much difference. I've also tried turning SSL off, again, no change. Nothing complicated like fil...

upstream usage

Hi There, I have a 50Mb downstream and 1.5Mb upstream connection (i know  ::)) - when downloading, sabnzb doesn't seem to be able to get above 25-30Mb/sec - after scratching my head as to why for a while, I noticed that the upsteam on the connection was getting saturated at 1.5Mb/sec, which explains...
