With Newshosting I am getting around 70MB/s or 560Mb/s. I read that in order to better utilize my gigabit connection, I'd need to use multiple servers, but even after adding another (Tweaknews), it only increased to 85MB/s or 680Mb/s. Both of these are top speeds -- it usually fluctuates beneath those numbers.

Anything more I can do? I followed the items in the below article and it did not help. I have an i5-6600k and am writing to an SSD so hardware should not be a problem either. In the end it doesn't really matter if I download something in 40 seconds instead of 60 seconds but it'd be nice to get the most out of what I have.

Edit: I might just need a crapton of providers to go higher. I added a third and it jumped to 105MB/s or 840Mb/s. Three is too expensive and I'm still not even at a gigabit, so that ends this experiment I suppose.

I think it just might be the limit of Sabnzbd.
Written in Python we can't use all cores of your system very well and downloading from Usenet is very cpu intensive.

Ah, oh well. Thanks for the quick response.

I see the same from a single server, I have faster processor also so I can support your result that the limit is providers not software
