SABnzbd Forums

Hi All,

I have noticed my download speed on SABnzbd has dropped from about 10.5 MB/s on average to 6 MB/s.

I have contacted my Internet provider and Usenet provider (usenetserver) and nothing has changed from their end.

I'm running a Docker container on my UnRaid server - both running the latest version. I ran a speed test on my server and I got Download: 114.12 Mbit/s and Upload: 24.05 Mbit/s

On the network section on the unRaid dashboard, I'm seeing: eth0 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500

I have also tried other ports in the SABnzbd server configuration page, with and without SSL, still no improvement.

Here is my currect configuration: Host: usenetserver | Port = 563 | SSL = checked | Connections = 8 | Priority = 0

No changes to the router/network switch or ports (the same cable has been connected to the same port). I have restarted the router and still no luck with the speed.

Please, can anyone advise how to resolve this issue?

Thanks,
T

You could consider getting a free trial or a cheap block account at another usenet provider, and check the speed with them.

Thanks for the info. I just got signed up for a month of newsgroup.ninja to test the speed and with both servers active, download speed is around 11.5 MB/s.

Settings for each server
Connections=30
Priority = 0
SSL = Checked

Is this the expected download speed I should be getting? If not, please any other suggestions?

Yes. Because you wrote

... and 114 Mbit/s is about the same as 11.5 MB/s.


Wait ... you're not confusing bits versus Bytes, are you?

Makes sense now. Thanks for your help!
