Here is my issue. When Unraid is running mover, downloading files "typically at about 20MBs", and Plex is processing those files I sometimes get periods of buffering every 10 seconds or so. I understand this is likely an IO/storage speed/parity write operation issue. Is there anyway to optimize my setup to handle this better? It seems like even with all of these operations going on at the same time that my rig is not even breaking a sweat. None of the drives appear to be at their max IO or read/write capabilities, but yet I still get these times where Plex buffers hard. Here is a screenshot of my drives while a move is occurring which also just seems slow in general. I am to the point where I am considering just moving the media to a non parity protected pool in hopes it stops the buffering issues. In the picture my Cache ssd is for appdata, cache_nvme is for some vm's and servers I run sometimes, and Cache_ssd is my download folder cache drive. I am hoping someone can help me understand what is going on and maybe the steps you would take to diagnose the bottleneck. I am at the point that maybe I just move media to a pool and out of the parity protected array OR maybe I try a more traditional raid setup for better performance. Here are my server specs:

Hoping somebody can help me understand what is going on with my LanCache. When downloading a game for the first time through lancache everything goes perfect speeds are high and I see no abnormal limitation using my 1gig ISP it appears to be as fast as when I am not using lan cache. I downloaded every single game I own on every single storefront I have access to and had no issues downloading. I used Steam, Origin, Blizzard, Epic, Uplay and more. Then to test the cache I deleted a couple games from my gaming PC on the same network as my lancache and the downloads start out going insanley slow. I didn't time it at the time but it appeard as though my download of the cached game was going slow for about 10-15 minutes and at under 1MB. For reference on my ISP connection during caching I was getting like 30MB's a second easy sometimes higher and sometimes lower depending on the hosts ability to provide my download at a given time. After a time of maybe 10-15 minutes the speed would suddenly and drastically shoot up to what my servers drives could handle and provide. I was able to replicate this a few times with different games in the cache. Does anybody have any idea what would cause this?

I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to forward the ports required for a dedicated Space Engineers VM. I know the Space Engineers host is up and running because I can connect to it locally and play on my server. The problem is that I cannot figure out how to do port forwarding for the Win10 VM Dedicated Server I have up and running. I have 2 NICs in my Unraid box. When I first started this process one of my NICS was disabled. I was using "Interface eth0" bro, bridging was on, I have a static IP set for the server and all of the dockers including plex can communicate with the internet and I even have the required Plex ports portforwarded in my Asus rt-68u router so I can get access to Plex from outside my network. When I run portchecker the plex 32400 port is open. I set up a Windows 10 VM and was using Network Bridge br0 on eth0, the VM has internet access and that all works fine. The issue comes when I try to Forward a port for the Space Engineers server I have running. The port never shows as open and my server can not be found outside of my LAN. I tried to add 8766 and 27016 to my portforward list in my router to the Win10 VM IP as well as the Unraid box IP and either way it does not show the port as open. Next, I enabled my second NIC and plugged an ethernet cable into the second nick and then into my router and that works just fine. I changed the network bridge to br1 interface eth1 and the VM again has internet access. I have tried forwarding the ports to the eh1 interface IP as well as the VM IP but no dice again. I am frustrated and I guess I just don't have the knowledge to get this up and running and I am really hoping somebody here can help me get this working. There must be a way to get this portforwarding to work with a VM and I am sure it is simple to somebody that has more knowledge than I do. I really am looking forward to somebody being able to help me.

For some reason, I cannot add sabnzbd to radarr as a download client. The test fails and it won't let me save the config. The weird thing is I went through and set this up just fine with sonarr. When I setup sabnzbd in sonarr it was all working perfectly: testing was successful, and downloads were being sent from sonarr to sab. The problems occurred when I went to add sab to radarr. The test has never succeeded and I am using the same settings. Also since I have gone back to check if I did something wrong sonarr now fails the test as well. I generated a new API key but that made no difference. Does anybody have any ideas about what this could be? Screenshot attached.

So I was able to get Binhex sabnzbd working but not sabnzbdvpn.... I get an execution error when I try to launch it after pulling it down but I also get an error when installing.

Appreciate the response. I just donated.

I have downloaded your DelugeVPN and have that working just fine. I downloaded your sabnzbd and would like to route its traffic through DelugeVPN... But for the life of me, I just can't wrap my head around that process. Would it be possible for anybody on here to help me understand this process? Do I enter the port and my server IP somewhere in the sabnzbd container edit screen or do I do it within the webui? If it is the edit screen I am not sure where to put this information. Thanks for any support you can offer.
