Any ideas why it limits at 2.9MB/s??

There can be lots of reasons.
ISP, Usenet provider, using WiFi, slow hardware etc.

... instead of ... ?

SABnzbd does not limit itself to 2.9 MB/s; I have reached 20 MB/s with SABnzbd running on moderate hardware (i3 Core) and a 300 Mbps FttH line.

However, SABnzbd is limited by factors outside of SABnzbd: your CPU, your OS, your network & Internet connection, your Newsserver plan.

Easy test: get and run NZBget (or Grabit), and see what speed it gets. And if that speed seems 10 times higher, you're probably mixing up MB/s versus Mbps.

It is definitely 2.9 MB/s. My download speed from my ISP is 100mbps, or 12.5 MB/s. I am getting 12 MB/s when I do a speedtest. My news server is tweaknews. From them I am allowed 100 mbps.

And tell what system you're running SABnzbd on: CPU and RAM. On an Atom or some other low spec CPU (like in NAS-devices) you won't get high speed with SABnzbd.

I have MAC OS. Which can I use?

What is so wrong with SABnzbd+ ? That tells me the download speed?

If you think SABnzbd is so wrong, have you considered to stop using it?

Have checked which one runs on OSX?

Which of the SABnzbd+ alternatives for MAC is best?

I think this conversation is not going anywhere, so I'll leave this thread.

So what is so difficult about the question???

Just used NZB Vortex. I get 11MB/s with it. The problem is definitely with SABnzbd. Can someone please help.
