SABnzbd Forums

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.

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)

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?

Yeah I will give that a shot here in a bit

It should be showing more though right?

Yep: 3 MB/s (= 30 Mbps)

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?

Also forgot to mention that was using a new account with supernews...and now it seems SAB is showing same...wow so unliminews had me throttled....hrmmmmm
