I keep getting this error repeatedly :
" Too many connections to server [502 connection limit (1) reached]" downloads go but a crawl.
I changed my passwords but am still getting this in sabnzbd. Anyone know how to fix? Dave

Another tip: lower your number of question marks to 1. Can you do that?

Your test download is 6 MB/s. Is that good for you?

If then another download 3kb/s, it is probably caused because it's not available. So: no need to download. Choose a better download. See https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/introduction/d ... leted.html

6mb/s is no where near what i used to get a few days ago, i normally get around 35-36MB/s.

I've tried lots of different d'loads from TV, & Movies doesn't matter how new or old they are its all slow.

Never had this problem before as I never mess with the settings as its always worked fine up till a few days ago?

Use wired, not wifi

Do the Test Download of 1GB

Then:

In SABnzbd's upper right corner, click on the wrench symbol ("Status and interface options"), then click on first tab Status, and there click on the Refresh Arrow. Post the values of the lower part here.
