Slow download speeds with new setup

New setup, just trying to get everything working properly.

 

I have a FIOS gigabit connection, and installed both Sabnzbd and NZBGet dockers and both seem to be limited to 60MB/s. Downloads on my PC typically max out at ~110MB/s. I'm downloading to a SSD/NVME on both systems so that's not the issue. I must have something else going on. With the speedtest docker it reports I'm maxing out the connection to my Unraid box with ~950/980 so that's not it either. I realize it's an older setup (Xeon e3-1226-v3) but AFAIK that shouldn't keep my download speeds from maxing out. 

 

Any ideas would be really helpful. I plan to buy a license as soon as I make sure everything's working OK. 

 

Edit- I think I have my folders setup improperly and I'm writing to the array, not to cache?

How many connections are you allowing on NZBGet?  You should pretty much use as many as your provider allows (eg: 20)

 

What is presumably your downloads (d.......s) share is set to use cache: yes, so new files get written to the cache drive and ultimately moved to the array

 

You appdata is spanning between disk 1 and the cache.  You should stop docker in Settings - Docker, run mover then re-enable it after the move is done.

Maxing out connections on both SAB and NZBGet- I'm using 2 newsservers on different backbones with 50 connections each . On my Gigabit connection it can handle it- I tried using less but I maximize transfer speed by using all of them. It seems like my setup does slightly better with SAB.

 

I just benchmarked all my drives using the DiskSpeed docker- my motherboard is using the old C226 chipset so I have to use a PCIe NVME controller but I'm getting 2500MB/s writes so there is definitely something else going on. I must have configured it wrong. 

 

Learning process.
