Slow Download Speed

Post by satos74 »

Hello All

I'm currently using Sabnzb with Aussie Broadband on a 100 Mpbs Service which will download at a speed test site will be 91.39 Mbps . When I use Sabnzb I notice that the max download speed is 2.5MB/s .
When I convert the 91.39 Mbps = 11.42375 MB/s which is allot faster then the 2.5MB/s that Sabnzb downloads at.
I there a fix for this download rate or is there a setting I need to activate to get the full speed out of Sabnzb?

Cheers
Kyle

The usual:

While SABnzbd is not doing / not downloading anything (so: if there is stuff in Queue, click on Pause):

What do you see at SABnzbd -> Wrench-symbol (upper right corner)-> press circled arrow to get fresh information. Post the lower info here.

Example from my system:

System load 0.28 | 1.08 | 1.63 | V=1873M R=84M
System Performance (Pystone) 172281 Intel(R) Celeron(R) N4120 CPU @ 1.10GHz SSSE3
Download folder speed 24.1 MB/s /home/sander/Downloads/incomplete
Complete folder speed 36.9 MB/s /home/sander/Downloads/complete
Internet Bandwidth 24.4 MB/s 195.2 Mbps

Hello

I opened sabnzb while not active and followed your instructions as follows What do you see at SABnzbd -> Wrench-symbol (upper right corner)-> press circled arrow to get fresh information. Post the lower info here.
The only problem I have is that there is no circled arrow where you retrieve that system info
Can you send a pic of the actual spot I need to go to?

Cheers

CPU and disk speed: good!

"Internet Bandwidth 12.9" ... that's not all info. Can you post the full line, please?

Assuming the 12.9 is the MB/s (and not the Mbps), you should get 12.9 MB/s with SABnzbd downloads. However ... "Aussie Broadband", so you're in Australia? And newsservers are on other, remote continents: Europe and US. That has impact on ping times, round trip delays, and the resulting newsservers bandwidth you can get.

I would think that a lot of connections with a few different newsserver (all with same prio) would ease that pain.

What is the ping time to the newsservers you've got?

Note to self: I must measure the impact of delays on newsserver traffic. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/614 ... s-on-linux seems useful for me.
