Hello,
Never had this issue before 4.2.2. Number of allowed connections are 60 and it is set at 60 in Config>Switches.
Unsure why this issue has suddenly arisen? Is there an issue with how SAB interprets the connections since the update? Anyone else with the issue?
I see people being advised to reduce the number of connections allocated in SAB - is this really the only solution? Like I say I never had this issue prior to 4.2.2.
Subject is copy/pasted directly from SAB minus the name of the server which is easynews.
Thanks

Re: Too many connections to server [502 Too many connections.]
Nothing changed, maybe just the way they count the timeouts.
In any case, I can get 100MB/s with just 20 connections... So do you really need 60?

Re: Too many connections to server [502 Too many connections.]
If lowering the connections is unacceptable for you, go back to prior 4.2.2. And no, nothing has changed, so I doubt going back will change it. But ... let us know!
Reason to lower your connections:
* it should not matter for your speed: newsservers provide 5-10-15 MB/s per connection, so 50 connections should give 250 - 500 - 750 MB/s, so about 2000 - 4000 - 6000 Mbps. I dare to say that's probably more than your linespeed, so not a limit
* Root cause: there can be a hanging, non-responding connection, which SAB does not count as working connection, but your newsserver provider does.
* lower number is better for your system, as each connection takes CPU power.
* also: it is the total from all downloading clients, on your LAN or elsewhere. But I assume you're not doing that.
In general: less is more.

Re: Too many connections to server [502 Too many connections.]
Thank you both for your replies, I will try to lower the connection count and see if that resolves it. Just weird that it only happens after the update.
Less would appear to be more in this instance, thanks for the info, much appreciated.
