Help me get my speed right?

[reno55]

I just upgraded to a faster internet package (30mb) and I cannot seem to get sabnzbd to go faster than 1.2/1.3mb. This is in the main webui screen in the middle next to the sabnzbd logo.



Can anyone help me out here? I entered in 40000kb so wouldnt that be more than enough? I have no speed limit in place in the tuning section of the config.

When SAB is *not* downloading, what speed do you get on http://speedtest.net/ ?

Oh: you do know the difference between bits and Bytes, don't you? If not, see the SABnzbd FAQ.

[reno55]

Yes I know the difference......here are my results when SAB is NOT downloading

OK, good.

A few questions:
- on what hardware is SAB running? CPU and RAM ...
- what is the max speed of your newsserver 'plan'?
- how many connections have you defined? My choise would be 8. Not higher.
- have you tried with another usenet download program? (options: NNTPgrab)

[reno55]

Core i3 3.30ghz 8gb ram
20 slots allowed through unliminews I have defined 20
I have not tried with another program YET as I use SAB for automated tv downloads.

So hardware, usenet plan, internet connection ... are not the problem.

Can you lower 20 to 8? And can you try NNTPgrab or grabit?

[reno55]

Yeah I will give that a shot here in a bit

[reno55]

It should be showing more though right?

[sander]

It should be showing more though right?

Yep: 3 MB/s (= 30 Mbps)

[reno55]

Ok same file that I am getting only 1.2/1.3 in SAB using NNTP I am getting a solid 3.7MB per sec using 30 connections........


Any ideas?
