Sorry! - Another post regarding Slow download

[Buffen]

Dear Experts
I have used this service for many years - happily!

BUT, I was downloading a 6-8 Gb file for "evaluation" this weekend, where my son was home on "Corona-vacation" - and it was a +1 hour download.
He had a look on my PC, while downloading, and asked: Why are you getting 1.8 MB download speed? You have a 1 GB fibre connection?

Hmmm - I don't know - so I checked the wrench tool in sabnzdb - and it says that I should have around 14.8 MB download speed!

I just wonder wath I'm doing wrong??

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers
Buffen

How many newsservers have you defined and active, at which priorities?

[Buffen]

Hi sander

I have one: news.tweaknews.eu
Priority: 0
Connections(s): 8

What did you mean with your Wrench statement? The Internet speed?

If so, do this:

In SABnzbd's upper right corner, click on the wrench symbol ("Status and interface options"), then click on first tab Status, and there click on "Test download" 1000MB.

What is the result: what speed do you get?

And: wireless or wired connection?

[Buffen]

OK
Test download 1000 MB gives a speed of 1.8 MB/S on a wired connection.

I get this to:

Brugt chace 5.5 MB (8 artikler)
System Performance (Pystone) 87435 Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4010…
Download mappe hastighed 11.5 MB/s (C:\Users\.....\Downloads…)
Komplet mappe hastighed 9.1 MB/s (C:\Users\....\Downloads…)
Internet Bandwidth 78 MB/s (624 Mbps)

Is it my laptop that's the bottleneck?

[sander]

Your laptop is good, you disks are slow (but not as slow as your download), your Internet is good.

Your newsserver speed is bad.

I checked https://www.tweaknews.eu/en and they do offer slow plans like "50 Mbps" (which is about 5 MB/s). You don't have such a slow plan, do you?

You might raise your number of connections from 8 to 30 to see if that helps.

If not, consider buying (a block) from another newsprovider, to see if that works full speed.

PS:

"Komplet mappe hastighed " That's Danish, right? "hastighed" looks like pseudo-Dutch "haastigheid" ... the state of being in a hurry. So I could understand it

And just to make sure, in Config General at the bottom, what have you filled for Maxium Line Speed?

[Buffen]

@sander and @safire - thanks!
I have contacted Tweaknews - they are looking into my lack off speed!

Ill wait and see what they come up with!

PS:
You are right = Danish :-)

OKAYe!
Was checking Settings - I did only use 8 connections, instead of 30!
When I changed to 30, my speed did rise to 6ish MB - thats better!
