Slow download with 0.7.4

[justcurry]

I upgraded to 0.7.4 and am running Mac OSX 10.8.2. Download speeds have slowed down to the point of non-existence and it disconnects after awhile. Things were working well with the last version of SABZNBD. Not sure what happened.

Try setting "randomize_server_ip" to "on" on the Config->Special page.
Save and restart after that.
Which Usenet provider do you use?

Thanks for the reply. I have an account with newsgroupdirect.

Does the change solve the problem?

Possibly the coming release 0.7.6 will solve your problem.

[justcurry]

Your solution did solve the problem. Thanks! Can't wait for the next release. Hope it doesn't change things again.

I guess I should say it solved it for some and not all. For some reason, a lot of the NZBs are not downloading or fail rather early. The failure rate has increased significantly. Some fail when the download speed dies to less than 1 KB/s

The fix you applied can only solve only the speed problem.
If you only have a single server, it cannot solve issues of article availability (or related issues in SABnzbd).
Are you sure that the material is on the Usenet server?

This is the way SABnzbd behaves when a post is no longer on the server.
A post being gone from the servers is no longer a rare event.

I am having the same issue. I went from 2.5MB/s download speeds to 500KB/s and many downloads just fail towards the end. I am using the same OS and I tried turning on the radomize server ip with no change. I use NZBmatrix for my Usenet provider. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I am using a cable modem/router sbg6580 and my speedtest results show 20Mb/s down. I am not sure what happened.

Did the speed drop occur when changing versions?
What if you back to an older version?

I did not perform any updates until last night after the problem existed. I was hoping that the update might resolve the issue. I recently started using SABnzbd for the first time as of September so I am not sure what my options are to correct this. Are their any settings that I should check with the index site or with the router/modem? I am looking right now at a download and it is right around 650KB/s.

[cwn42]

I'm down to 141B/s.

Now the download failed. Any help to fix this problem would be great!!

[shypike]

Failed because?
It might very well be that the post isn't on the server (or incomplete).
Missing blocks? Missing articles.
