I tried another torrent software and got the same results. Im not sure the issue, as It was downloading directly to the unRaid server with full capacity (7-10Mb/s) before I updated. Downloading to the PC only takes a few clicks so its not that's a problem. Thanks for that assist! Time to fix this!

Hi Frank, thanks for the response. I am running the torrent client on the PC, but the issue isn't with torrents, I was just using that as an example as thats when I discovered the problem. I tried downloading a large file from a regular website, if I set the download location to the unRaid server, download speed gets capped at 1MB/s, but if I set the location just to my local PC, I get the usual 15-20 MB/s. So for some reason, any files downloaded directly to the unRaid server are getting capped. Very strange, especially because from Windows PC directly to unRaid, it takes full advantage of the speed and gets close to 100 MB/s. Has anyone come across an issue like this?

Sorry, I'll be a little more specific. From my Windows PC to Unraid server, both hardwired on my network, I am getting speeds close to 110 MP/s both up and down. If I am trying to torrent something and set the server's Plex-Media folder as the location, download/write speed seems to be capped at 1 MB/s (unrelated to any specific torrent or number of torrents, total download bandwidth will be capped to 1 MB/s). I went to mnt/user and it appears to show a directory to my Plex library files But as I am doing the download, I see activity on the Reads and Writes for the Array, but none on the Pool Devices, as if its downloading directly to the Array, and bypassing the Pool causing a bottleneck. It appears to be docker for Plex, is that unusual for it to be on disk1, still rather new at unRaid

Hello, I have a plex media server running on my unRaid 6.10.3 setup, but since for some reason I seem to be capped at a 1mb download limit after i set up the cache pool. The files do seem to appear in the cache, but I have not been able to get it to write directly to the cache. If I transfer directly from my PC to the Server I am getting very high speeds. The Media under Cache setting is set to YES: Everything else in the share is set to Prefer: All of my research online, I couldn't seem to find someone with the same issue. I know I must just have a setting wrong, but for the life of me, I cannot find it. Any help is greatly appreciated. mediaserver-diagnostics-20220904-0621.zip
