Overnight I'm maxing out @ < 1MB on download speeds.

Internet testing showing 900mpbs (112.5 MB/s)

sabnzbd status showing = Internet Bandwidth 10 MB/s 80 Mbps

I've updated, reinstalled, setup the application to use a VPN and nothing changes, multiple providers and I can't get more than 1 MB/s with 8+ sessions each.

Is this my ISP and am I shit out of luck?

If even with a VPN it's so slow, I don't think it's your ISP.

My first guess would be your usenet / news provider. Which usenet / news providers do you use?

And: In SABnzbd's upper right corner, click on the wrench symbol ("Status and interface options"), then click on first tab Status, and there click on the Refresh Arrow. Post the values of the lower part here.

Providers
news.supernews (in use for 5+ years no issues, however now I'm seeing a lot of timeouts)
usnews.blocknews (in use for 5+ years no issues)
news.frugalusenet (just added to traige my issue)

System performance (Pystone) 29718 is very low. Old CPU?
And what is your OS setup? FreeBSD? Straight on hardware, or docker/ jails?

Anyway: reading back your post "Overnight I'm maxing out @ < 1MB on download speeds." ... do you mean it's slow at night, and fast during the day? Or ... do you mean it was fast, and now it's suddenly slow 24x7?

The setup is old but was solid. Overnight meaning it worked for years without this issue. I orignally thought it was an issue with the jails as they hadnt been updated in a while so I did a fresh install with new jails but no change.

Server Build
TrueNAS-13.0-U4
ASRock C2750D41 with 2*8GB Crucial ECC DDR3 1600MHz
6 * WD Red 2TB in RAIDZ2 - Datapool
2 * Intel 530 120GB in MIRROR - Jails
Fractal Design Node 304 with CORSAIR CS450M

I would do this: install and configure SABnzbd on another system (PC, Mac), and do a few test downloads (1GB, 10GB).

If that is fast, you know the problem is in the NAS setup, and not your ISP or news providers.

BTW: 1 MB/s looks like ethernet speed (10 Mbps), so bad cable / bad ethernet switch. But that is ruled out by the Internet speed you measure.

Is Supernews you top priority server or do they all have the same priority? If it's your top server and it's having timeout problems then that is the most likely cause.

Frugal currenly has the lowest priority for this reason.

It's something on the NAS, thank you.

OK ... so much better than 1 MB/s, right?

Wait ... how did you measure that "General Speedtest:", which tool, on which system, and if on NAS: in the jail, or outside it?

... and ... ?
