speed question

Post by jwhitt12 »

I am running with ubuntu 20.04.4 and SABnzbd version: 3.6.0RC3

I thought I would check my speed (using speed.com) It told me my download speed was 7.5Mbps. My download speed,k with sabnzbdplus is between 400KB and 1.2Mb. I thought that didn't look right so I thought I would ask what I might have done to cause sab to be slow. I haven't changed anything that I know of in quite a long time. Here is my .ini file:

The difference is probably the speedtest reporting in bits vs sabnzbd using bytes. The measured 7.5 mbit (once divided by 8 to convert to bytes) falls within the range of download speeds reported by sab.

Re: speed question

Post by jwhitt12 »

Thank you for the reply.

I remain confused. I just ran fast (the name of the speedtest "fast.com") again. This time I got a download speed of 4Mbps My sabnzbdplus speed is 454KB/747KB Occasionally Sab will go up to 1.2Mbps and then slide back.

Oh, I forgot - my speed link is currently at 57Mb

Thoughts?
