Major Drop in speed, but only in SAB.

[radrick74]

I've had about 35 MB/s ever since i've installed SAB up until about 2 weeks ago or so. It has dropped to 2.5 MB/s. I don't believe it had updated in that time frame, and I sure didn't change any settings. I opened up my Alt-Binz which I used to use (using the same acct, settings, SSL etc) and still get the full speed.

I tried reinstalling, but that didn't do anything. It kept my settings, so I guess I could try a complete uninstall then reinstall, but surely it's got to be a setting or something since it's the only thing that has dropped in speed.

Help is appreciated as I enjoy using SAB over other programs.

What does https://fast.com/ tell you as speed?

[petvil]

mine was showing 1.7mbps but my download speed is showing 237kb/s ? I am also having this issue

Fast.com 1.7 Mbps?
SAB 238 KB/s?
That's correct: bits versus bytes, so factor 8 or 10

[radrick74]

Fast com shows me 490Mbps. and again SAB shows 2.5MB/s. Alt Binz is fine. I"ve since changed internet providers and have a 400Mbps connection, but SAB is still at 2.5, but my Alt Binz has gone to the new heights.

any help? I have reinstalled, but it kept my setting (logins, etc) so not sure it would have done anything, but still get the slow speed. I used the Beta version.

Usual suspects for slow downloads:

- you set up a bandwidth limit and/or bandwidth percentage
- using wifi, instead of wired
- saving to a slow disk (NAS for example)
- slow hardware (for example running SAB on a raspi or NAS)
- speed limit in your usenet plan
- bad performance by your usenet provider
- too much (or too little) connections to your usenet provider (15 is usually best)
- usenet speed throttled by your ISP
- missing articles
- slow newsserver with same or higher priority as fast newsserver
- SABnzbd over a VPN, with more than 7 connections

Try this first: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/faq#freshstart

Then we can see what is happening with a vanilla SABnzbd that should do auto-performance. 2.5MB/s is really too slow.

Thanks I adjusted my issues on speed. Main factor was my internet provider made some adjustments.

[radrick74]

I did end up completely ditching the settings (.ini) and reinstalling and setting back up, and seems fine. Not sure what had happened. Getting a nice 30MB/s now. Thanks for the replies.

[radrick74]

WTH! Day two of "fixing it" It's back down to 2.5 MB/s after getting 30-50 after reinstall ? What has changed? Am I going to have to uninstall, reinstall every time? ugh.

[radrick74]

Reinstalling again didn't do anything this time. I don't understand. Could something be blocking or limiting the web address since it uses that instead of and actual program?

[safihre]

This is really strange. Did you change any settings?

What happens when you download a real linux-ISO? Could be some takedown problem.
And with just 1 server?
