SABnzbd Forums

Hi,
my internet connectivity has a strange feature - it runs the fastest with newly opened connections. Few seconds later the speed drops. It is significant difference. I wonder is there any option in sabnzbd which would disconnect and open the connection again after each article?

Are you sure it's not just SABnzbd?
If your connection is faster than your CPU can process the data, it will initially download very fast untill the SABnzbd-buffers fill up.
Then it will slow down to a speed that your CPU can keep up with.

Nope. It started to happen after ISP has upgraded their infrastructure. It happened also on FTP.
However they fixed it (sadly) so it's capped constantly now.
So this question is not urgent/relevant anymore. It would be still nice to know if there is such feature in sabnzbd (I do understand though that 99.9 % want it the other way around )

Indeed it's not included as an option, since the rest of users want it the normal way
