Some files Download in Bytes.
I would like to know what it means, when a file downloads in bytes. My connection is capable of a maximum of 1MB/s. When this happens the files finish downloading as if I have a 100MB/s connection. Unfortunately the files are not actually complete. Is this something to do with the nzb itself? I use Ubuntu linux 32-bit.

Explanation: It's bits versus Bytes. See the FAQ http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/faq#toc30
If you want to measure your system/internet-connection: http://speedtest.net/ and click on "Begin Test". It will report in ... Mbps (so: bits)
On Linux you can also measure your system/Internet-connection speed with:
which will report in ... MB/s (so Bytes).
There should be a factor 10 between the speedtest and the wget measurement.
... yeah, it's confusing.
PS: With the above explanation, I'm quite sure you don't have a "100MB/s connection". It's probably "100Mbps", and thus "10 MB/s".

Re: Some files Download in Bytes.
Yes your right not (100Mb/s but 10Mb/s) but some of my downloads download at 500B/s (dummy speeds i suspect). I think it is because of some of the nzbs. Because most work fine, but some start downloading at low speeds(500B/s - 800B/s) and then outright fail.sander wrote:Explanation: It's bits versus Bytes.

The point is my downloads are failing.

Yes: if SAB download speeds are 10 kB/s or lower, it is a sign the post is not available on the your server(s), and the download will fail.

Re: Some files Download in Bytes.
Thanks for the information. I suspected it was the nzb's itself and not the internet connection or client. What would you recommend as a solution?
