Slower speeds when downloading from blocks

Post by morreke »

Hi

I am using sabnzbd in a docker container. It works great except when their are some articles missing from my primary provider and SAB goes looking on my second, third, ... provider but then my speeds are really slow.
But when I dissable my primary server for that download job that one block provider get full speeds for the job.
So why doI get slow speeds when using blocks providers to download when my primary is enabled
Is there somewhere an overall limit on connection or so?

Explanation: SAB first checks primary server, waits, gets a No, then goes to the secondary server. For the next article, SAB first checks primary server, waits, gets a No, then goes to the secondary server. For the following article, SAB first checks primary server, waits, gets a No, then goes to the secondary server.

... which costs time.
