what server build would you recommend to take advantage of a 100gbps internet connection
what would be the cpu choice, amd or intel?
ssd array?
recommended settings
what is the record for fastest download?
already use a cheap mac mini and get 850MB/s I’m just curious what will it take to push this.
ultimate server build 100Gbps?
Re: ultimate server build 100Gbps?
Looking forward to your test results!
CPU with high single-core performance.
A decent amount of RAM (for caching)
Fast NVMe. A different VME for Incomplete and Complete. I know nothing about arrays.
> recommended settings
DirectUnpack off.
Multiple newsservers at same prio. Low ping time to those newsservers. A lot of connections (50? 80?)
> what is the record for fastest download?
I think your 850 MB/s

On a home connection? AFAIK XGSPON has a limit at 8 Gbps, so 850 MB/s might be the max.
What are the specs of the SABnzbd setup? Please post the output of SABnzbd -> Wrench.

Post as text?
I used Google Lens to convert your https://imgur.com/49ZsTTM to text. See below. CPU performance not too special, fast disk, Internet speed lowish. As you get 850 MB/s, the Internet Bandwidth measurement is probably wrong.
You should do the test while SABnzbd and your machine are not doing anything else.

based on your input Im going to get a intel ultra 9 285k
rack mounted, looking for chassis and cpu coolers to support it. too bad not dual psu options.
will keep you posted it
also need to get ram and ssd, any pointers on that?
