SABnzbd criples my internet connection
I am using v0.7.11 on Ubuntu. I subscribe to Supernews for my service. I have TimeWarner cable for my ISP and have a 30Mbps download speed. Ive noticed that when SABnzbd is downloading it CRIPLES my connection. It will drop down to .23Mbps. At first I thought TW was throttling me so I setup a VPN to hide my traffic. However, that wasn't the problem. I can actively be doing a speed test with SABnzbd downloading, hit the pause button and my speed will jump from .23Mbps to 30Mbps. I went into the server config and moved my connections down from 30 to 2 and this helped, but still drops my speed from 30Mbps to 12Mbps. In addition, SABnzbd shows 2.4Mbps download speed on what it's downloading. WTH is going on here!?
Re: SABnzbd criples my internet connection
SABnzbd is using your connection as much as it can.
If you don't like that, set a max speed in SABnzbd: middle upper screen. It's in kB/s, so start by setting to 1000 (=1 MB/s = 10 Mbps)
