SABnzbd Forums

I have always got about 500 KB/S with SAB when downloading. I decided to upgrade my internet to 400 Mbps. I ran the speed test at speedtest. net (cant post a link) and it's showing 400.75 Mbps, but SAB is still downloading at 500 KB/s. I do have it set at 100% for downloading speed. I'm not sure if it's a setting I have to change or what, but I really want to get this downloading at a speed to match my internet speed.

Thank you so much for any help in advance!

Do NOT set a max download speed; it's meant to limit the speed.

And, if you can set a percentage, it means you have set a speed limit. That's bad. Search for "Maximum line speed", or go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd/config/ge ... _max_value directly, and remove the setting.

I set the maximum line speed and percentage of line speed to 0. I played around with those settings a lot and never got any results, including setting them to 0 or just leaving them blank. I played around with the connections, I was able to get it up to 1.2 with the connections at 25. But I'm completely stumped. I just ran another speed test, got up to 317 Mbps. I can't figure out why it's downloading so slow, 1.2 MB/s is sooo slow for having that speed of internet.

Uhhh ... I would say that would limit the speed to 0 Mbps.

Just remove line speed setting.
And then check you cannot set a percentage anymore

If you read the entire post...

I tried a little bit of everything with those lines including leaving them blank, setting them to zero and putting high numbers in there. Nothing ever really changed my speed. I'm just really frustrated with it. Spent a while looking at other peoples problems, making several tweaks and nothing is getting me even close to the speeds I should be seeing.

I would recommend doing this: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/faq#freshstart
By only doing these settings, you get a vanilla SABnzbd that should give max performance.
