My server is connected through an ethernet cable to the home network. When connecting the same network cable to a windows laptop and running speed test, I get around 800mbps download speed.

However on the server using the same network cable and port only gets me a maximum of 100 mbps. This is based on the download speeds at which sabnzbd is downloading.

Not too sure what is the reason for the low speed or how to troubleshoot it any further.

Any suggestions would be highly apprecited. Please let me know if I need to share any logs to help identify the problem.

Edit: I downloaded a speedtest tool on the app store and that seems to show me that the download speed is similar to what I see on the laptop. So the issue seems to be in the sabnzbd config or some other config / hardware delimiting factor.

Any help on how to investigate further would be much appreicated.

Speed test results attached below.

Sabnzbd only goes up to 15MB/s. Also it intermitently goes down to 0KB/s while downloading a file at random times. i.e. it will do that every once a minute or so when downloading a file and then pick back up to 15 MB/s.
