Significantly Slower Download Speeds in 0.5 Final Than 0.4.9

Post by a0004uk »

Version: 0.5 FINAL
OS: OSX Snow Leopard
Install-type: OSx .app
Skin : Plush
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6?  NO
Is the issue reproducible? yes

I upgraded to 0.5 FINAL a few days ago from 0.4.9. Since then my download speeds have reduced dramatically. Usually i get 800 - 900 Kb/s but with 0.5 i only get 200 - 300 Kb/s.

Ive uninstalled 0.5 and reinstalled 0.4.9, tried downloading the same file and the speed increases instantly. Ive tried changing skins just in case, ive even tried deleting my servers and re adding them to no avail.

Any ideas?

P.s Any way to import my incomplete 0.5 queue into old version?

I have no experience with the OSX version myself,
but I never noticed a speed difference between 0.4.12 and 0.5.0 on Windows and Linux.
6-10MBytes/sec (Atom and Core2Duo resp.) with 10 being my line maximum.
Are you using failrly recent Apple hardware?

I'll pass on your comment to our OSX supporter.

Hi a0004uk,

I've never had this kind of issue. I'm using SABnzbd on various Mac hardware.
Could you please send me your sabnzbd.ini file ? (in ~/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd folder)

I did actually manage to solve my problem thanks to rAf. All i did was increase the amount of connections to my usenet server.

Hope this helps you, or even someone else :)
