Also a great tool to measure pure HTTP / HTTP download thus line speed: axel

$ axel http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/kinetic-desktop-amd64.iso

So about 60 MB/s, about 480 Mbps nett, so about 500 Mbps linespeed.

Or less output: print each 5000th line:

I feel like a right prat now, i had already swapped the cable, but i didnt try taking it out the switch and plugging direct into the router, as ive had the switch for about a year and everything else on it runs perfectly, just plugged direct to router and im DL'ing bk up to max 65MB/s

Thank you for the help

Cool. I love it when a plan comes together.

About switching to fast ethernet instead of gigabit ethern due to switches/cables/etc: the same now and then happens to me. For no apparant reason. Very annoying. I'm sure it can't be the 9 euro ethernet switch nor the ethernet cable I patched together myself.

Why is no one mentioning to check Config > General > Tuning < Maximum line speed? That was my issue.

My internet bandwidth was ~29MB/s but I was only getting exactly 10MB/s. Changed the setting to 30MB/s – fixed!

Can't post a link to the wiki article, but Google, "SABnzbd High speed Downloading".

Because that's a bit too obvious... It's also shown to you in the speed limit slider what you configured as maximum.

It's also something you configure yourself, not set by us.
