Slow connection to no connection

I see.

I would advice you to start at the basics, for example start reading http://www.binaries4all.com/sabnzbd/

Hi,

So, I'm having a similar problem, I have a 6 Mbps link to my ISP, I have antivirus and firewalls turned off on the computer that runs SAB and I am using both usenet.net and giganews.com as my providers. I use random generic indexers (nzbmatrix, etc.) with two not so generic indexers, Couch Potato for movies and Sick Beard for TV shows, I would be using Headphones for music, but I don't really download music anyway. SAB's connection speed rarely reads more than 800 kbps, occasionally peaking at 1.8~ Mbps and very rarely peaking at 3.0 Mbps, but it only stays over 800 kbps for a couple of seconds at a time and only peaks up to those speeds when I have had SAB limited for a period of time and then reset it to no limit. How can I get it to utilize my full downspeed at all times when I'm not limiting it manually?

Thanks in advanced,
Erebus

No, it's not. Start your own thread

Like Sander said, it's a different problem.
Aren't you mixing bits/sec and bytes/sec? SABnzbd reports its speed in bytes/second (which is about 9 times lower that bits/sec).
On what kind of hardware are you running SABnzbd?

Yeah, sorry about that I am mixing them, I didn't realize that SABnzbd reports bytes instead of bits... After doing the math I am getting approximately 5 to 6 Mbps in speed, so I'm getting my full bandwidth, which means my question was null, sorry about that. Thanks for pointing that out.
