SABnzbd Forums

Hey,

I was wondering of there were other people with the same problem I am facing.
Whenever i'm downloading with sab, I get speeds up to 1.4MB/s but never faster and when this is going on, my wifi doesnt work anymore, it just times out.
Could this have anything to do with the amount of connections I have? ATM i've got 8 servers... seems not so much.
I'm a Belgacom customer and have a BBox2 and an 100Mb network but nothing further. I'm planning on getting a Gigabit network though.

The LAN network stil works but pretty slow. I'm afraid that sab cogs up all of the bandwith we've got.

Anyone got the same problem or a solution?

Cheers

8 servers? Or 8 connections to 1 server?

Anyway: easy to test your hypothesis ("amount of connections"): lower the number of connections to 1. If that stays stable, increment with 1, and so on.

I have 1 server with 12 connections I can use but i have set 8 to use.

I'm trying your advise as we speak and it seems promising but when i set 1 connection the download speed drops to 900kb/s

Are you using WiFi or a cable for the system on which SABnzbd runs?
WiFi is easily saturated with sustained downloading, especially when distance
and walls interfere.

... which would prove exactly the problem: your wifi-router/modem being overloaded and halting ...

If wired ethernet isn't stable either, consider a firmware upgrade. If that doesn't help, you could get a new modem.

The problem is that i have a modem from our provider and we cant change that. But i will look in to a firmware update and try to update it. Furthermore i have set my connections to 3 and i am getting my 1.4 MB/s back without gobbling the whole wifi. Is it greedy to ask for a greater speed? :-D thanks for the help guys. Much appreciated

No, not at all. And your ISP should provide you a stable router.

Yeah it crap from belgacom. We need it for digital tv. But maybe there is a newer hardware version. We rent that piece of crap so i can bring it back and ask a newer model. Thx
