Help with setup

I feel like i never got this setup correctly and when I go to download it seems pretty slow given my fast internet connection. I am hoping someone can assist me with tweaking because right now I am only downloading at between 2-10MBps and I have a 100/10 pipe (100 down and 10 up). I am using Newshosting Unlimited. I have an i7 975 3.33GHz with 18GB of RAM.

I currently have the tuning section set to:
Download speed Limit: 0
Article Cache Limit: -1

For server settings:
Host: unlimited.newshosting.com
Port: 563
Connections: 30
retention Time: 2313
Timeout: 120
SSL (Checked)

I have changed these settings quite a bit and have never gotten over 10MB.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

A 100 MBit/sec connection translates to about 10 MBytes/sec.

Ahhh I didn't know it was "Mega Bytes" in Sabnzbd I thought it was "Mega Bits"

Thanks!

The problem is that SABnzbd can only measure bytes, because that's what it gets from the operating system.
Bit/sec is the bitrate of your ISP, which makes sense for them, but has no real meaning for you as a user.
The conversion factor is roughly 10.
