Using the scheduler to temporarily throttle

[duffer99]

With other family members using Netflix, I am forced to throttle dl's to about 800 K to avoid their programs from locking up. I can pause for xxx minutes or manually throttle. I would like to be able to manually throttle for xx mins and then fully resume automatically. I tried scheduler for speedlimit 800 starting 2 mins from now and then speed limit 2000 for at a time xx minutes later. Nothing changed to the dl speed. The speed limit in the box on the main page is in KB/s. Is placing 800 and 2000 in the scheduler argument box correct? I sure would like to see a speed/pause combo feature on the main page.

Many thanks,

duffer

Yes, it is.

When the the speed limiter is active (via the the scheduler, or manually), the speed box on the SAB front page should show a a RED arrow.

One more check: SABnzbd.log should show:

Code: Select all

2014-10-26 07:55:00,003::INFO::[downloader:255] Bandwidth limit set to 200000
2014-10-26 08:00:00,001::INFO::[downloader:255] Bandwidth limit set to 300

And if set to DEBUG, if you change anythong to the scheduler, you shoudl see something like:

Code: Select all
