Using tweaknews as my server, gives a max of 30 connections. Previous home got a max of 12 mb/s download, sabnzbd would download at an average of 900-1 MB/s. New home has a download of 25mb/s, I'm averaging 750 KB/s. Previously I had 20 connections. At 20 connections I was getting around 500 KB/s, reading around the forums it said to reduce connections to less than 12, tried that, was getting around 250 KB/s. Increasing to 30 has given me the best at 750. What do I need to do to improve these speeds. It sucks knowing my connection is twice as fast but I'm getting less download speeds on sabnzbd.

wired or wireless?

Wired directly to the modem.

different isp?
what speed do you get with Grabit?

Yes, different ISPs, was on Frontier, now on Centurylink. Grabit gave me similar speeds to sabnzbd with no configuration changes.

If grabit gives the same speed as SABnzbd, it's not a SAB specific problem.

As you changed ISP, it might be your new ISP is throttling your usenet traffic.
