How to disable speed limit?

Post by panq »

Hi,

I have a schedule set up that imposes a download speed limit during peak usage hours. What I was wondering is how to correctly disable the speed limit. I know I can set it to a high number, but theoretically there is still a speed limit in effect that way. I've tried setting the speed limit to 0, but that actually stops all downloads and imposes a limit of anything higher than 0.  ;D

TIA!!

Setting the speed limit to 0 should actually remove it, and is what I use myself.

I would try using it again as it shouldn't limit the speed to 0 KB/s.

Thanks! I suppose I jumped to conclusions. I'm running sabnzbd+ 0.4.9 on a QNAP TS 409 and the disk I/O is being hit pretty hard by some other processes which would explain the long delay I saw in getting a DVD downloaded. Thanks again!

Unfortunately the QNAP-409 only has 256MB, otherwise I would advise you
to set SABnzbd's memory cache to something like 60M.
Although any amount above 10M that you can spare, will help.

Just leave the value empty in Config General.
