downloads get really slow near the end of the download

I'm having this weird issue where my downloads get extremely slow just in the last few bytes of a file. For example, I'm downloading some episode of 1,9GB and my speed is around 7mb/sec. In the last few megabytes it gets to 23kb/s.
Somebody knows what's going on?
I'm on 0.7.1.1, mac osx 10.8.3
Thanks!

Do you have multiple servers?

No, just one.

It could be a bug in SABnzbd of course.
It could also be that your Usenet server fails to acknowledge that it doesn't have some article.
Check your server's timeout in Config->Servers.
Check "retries" in Config->Switches (anything between 3 and 5 is OK).
Make sure "only for optional servers" (below that) is off.
Still if the server times out it will take "retries" * "timeout", which can be like 5 minutes or more before SABnzbd gives up.
Should it really block, you can set the "priority" to stop to force post-processing.
