Hi all, While downloading, sabnzbd hogs all my internet bandwidth so my other internet activities are very slow, ie normal browsing. Is it possible for me to reduce the internet priority of sabnzbd so that only use 'spare' bandwidth?

Two ways.
Set a speed limit in SABnzbd itself (Config->General).
Tell your router (if it supports that) to treat NNTP traffic (or port 119) as low priority traffic.

... or use a "traffic shaper" on your Windows machine. I have not tested it, but maybe this works for you: http://bandwidthcontroller.com/
