I just installed sabnzbd on an Ubuntu Server 12.04 (64 bit) VM. I am trying to transition from a Windows 7 install which I have been using for the last year or so.
My problem is that my downloads are slow when I connect to an SSL server. By slow I mean like 35KBps. When I use a non-SSL server (both are Astraweb) I get normal download rates.
The problem is on my Ubuntu machine because SSL downloads work fine on my Windows 7 setup.
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks.

Weird, i have no such problems with Ubuntu Server on both virtual
and real hardware. Astraweb works ok too.
The only difference is that I use 32bit variants of the OS.
Is Python for Ubuntu 32 or 64 bit?

Re: Slow SSL Downloads
I'm not sure. How can I check?
Re: Slow SSL Downloads
Type "python" on the command line.
The signon will tell you.

Re: Slow SSL Downloads
OK, it doesn't tell you.
I'm also not really sure that it matters.
So far I have only tested on 32bit VMWare images.
I'll see if I can find some time to try a 64bit image.

Re: Slow SSL Downloads
This is how you can determine the bitness of python:
My python is " x86-64", so 64bit.

Re: Slow SSL Downloads
No ... I never use SSL ... ;-). I now have activated sslreader.eweka.nl, disabled all other servers, and started a download ... just the usual 2.3 MB/s.spazlon wrote:

Re: Slow SSL Downloads
Is there anything I can show you guys so you can point me in the right direction for trouble shooting. I installed on Linux to force myself to become familiar with it, but at this point I may have to go back to using Win7.
Re: Slow SSL Downloads
You could check your SSL speed in general. Maybe there is something in the VM's network layer causing delay. Do this:spazlon wrote:Is there anything I can show you guys so you can point me in the right direction for trouble shooting.
Code: Select all
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.5.1.tar.bz2
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.5.1.tar.bz2
Or even beter: install another news-downloader, and see it's SSL speed. Options: NNTPgrab and NZBget.
Or run Ubuntu from a live-USB-stick/CD on the bare metal and not in a VM.
But don't you think this is part of becoming familier with Linux?spazlon wrote: I installed on Linux to force myself to become familiar with it, but at this point I may have to go back to using Win7.
But: If your only goal is running SABnzbd, and that works perfect for you on Windows, why switch?

Re: Slow SSL Downloads
Did you install the VMWare tools on your virtual OS?
That way it will use optimized drivers instead of emulating the network hardware.

Re: Slow SSL Downloads
Oh yeah, I didn't mean for it to sound like I was complaining. I was just at a loss for where to start troubleshooting. Thanks for giving some guidance.sander wrote:But don't you think this is part of becoming familier with Linux?spazlon wrote: I installed on Linux to force myself to become familiar with it, but at this point I may have to go back to using Win7.
So I installed the VMWare tools first since that seemed to be the most obvious thing I missed. Then I tried the HTTP download and got full 6Mb/s speeds. Downloaded from HTTPS and got the same speeds.
Then I tested the SSL connection from Astraweb and everything worked perfectly! VMWare tools was the problem.
Thanks to both of you for helping me out! I really appreciate it.
Re: Slow SSL Downloads
Ok, so it isn't working. It worked for one day, but now it is slow again.
It appears to be all SSL downloads because when I downloaded that kernel via HTTP it worked fine, but HTTPS was only 5KBps.
What could cause this problem in Linux?

Thanks.
I'm running sab under Debian squeeze. I have my max download speed set to 400 kB/s. This worked fine when I didn't have ssl enabled. However once I enabled ssl, my download speeds dropped to maybe 10 - 20 kB/s.
I raised my number of connections from 4 to 15, and that took care of it - downloads back to running at 400 kB/s. I'm not sure why this made a difference, but it did.
