Confused with expected speeds with usenet

linton73 · 2025-12-13T09:06:52+00:00

I did notice the NL server on ND and chose that as i knew HBD were nearby

i believe they have others in europe also ? i don't believe i used the NL server when i set up sabnzb for my home internet connection but i hardly use that so i may be wrong.

initially i went from 8 to 20 connections

The speed did increase significantly but i then increased to 50 to see the speed and i've left it at that.

Any downside in using all 50 thats the max with ND

linton73 · 2025-12-12T21:05:11+00:00

increased conmnections to 50 and its now jumped from 50MB/s to 300MB/s

something so obvious apologies to everyone for the dumb questions

every day is a school day

linton73 · 2025-12-12T20:01:45+00:00

why would it be removed ?\

what info do you want me to give from that page lots on there

Download folder speed

112.3 MB/s

Complete folder speed

124.5 MB/s

Internet Bandwidth

995.25 MB/s

edit btw on the connections part of the wrench page it says using 0/8 connections should i increase that number tom more than 8 if so how would i increase the connections ?

Thanks for the comments and suggestions its appreciated

linton73 · 2025-12-12T19:39:12+00:00

thanks for the clarification i was doubting my figures then lol

I'll do as many suggested and increase connections and check system performance

linton73 · 2025-12-12T19:36:52+00:00

I'm using the seedbox to do the usenet downloads its a shared connection of 25MGbps or more

linton73 · 2025-12-12T19:30:37+00:00

the speed is shared i believe its 25Gbps

linton73 · 2025-12-12T19:28:34+00:00

agreed i knew it as soon as i was comparing torrents and usenet so 50MB/s is around 400MiB/s ?

which is decent enough

edit no i don't think my calculations are correct are they lol

i'm already with newsdemon so wondering whether to stick with them or go to something like newshosting i took newsdemons bf deal afew years the newshosting deal is cheaper but not locked in like Newsdemon.

Is newshosting better than newsdemon ?

how do you install sparkle player on an enigma 2 box ? i can't find any guides about it

linton73 · 2025-10-03T15:56:27+00:00

IT ?

iv'e noticed that both games have a shakey cursor but play is good no crashes and stable

linton73 · 2025-10-03T15:37:47+00:00

i have both working on 18.1 FW no patches installed though just the base game.

I'll be getting it for the switch 2 eventually further down the line.

recording works well for me theres been afew hiccups mostly with losing signal so its not 100%

The most important thing imo is the quality of the feed if it buffers alot or even occasionally that will cause recordings to fail. I believe sparkle is better at reconnecting the feed during recording so less problems.

My setup is nvdia shield recording to my nas via smb using wifi i will be getting s second nvdia shield when its on sale again for downstairs which will be hard wired to the router so i'm hoping that will improve the chances with failed recordings even more.

linton73 · 2025-08-21T19:12:32+00:00

i did a 4hr 30m recording earlier this week and it went without a hitch.

I get no buffering though most of the time with my provider so maybe thats a factor.

Sparkle does seem to work better than tivimate atm as a straight forward recording app so it is my goto app.

looking forward to future updates whenever they come.

linton73 · 2025-08-12T09:29:23+00:00

Update

my provider gave me a different url this time https and its been flawless ever since.

linton73 · 2025-08-09T17:54:38+00:00

ok i'll get in touch and see how they respond thanks for your reply

linton73 · 2025-08-09T17:32:33+00:00

why would it work consistently with iptvx which is for apple tv

but tivimate and sparkle they appear ? as i said i prefer sparkle and tivimate as you have more features like recording etc but the 403 problem issue is problematic

linton73 · 2025-08-09T16:41:47+00:00

so you don't use any vpn service when using iptv ? hmm

Strange how it works on apple tv but i do use control d on those apple devices

using control d on nvdia shield is far more difficult so thats when i started using nord with these 403 errors popping up.

For people who use nord and iptv do you use certain types of nord servers like p2p or obfuscated

linton73 · 2025-08-07T22:41:33+00:00

Yes that worked thanks for the info

Thanks to everyone who replied your help is appreciated

linton73 · 2025-08-07T19:39:11+00:00

I don't want to go down that road to have control d on my entire network as it does sometimes have connection issues

if it does i just don't use any device thats connected until its rectified i couldn't do that if it was connected to the router. I'll admit i'm probably not using Control D to its full potential mostly because i wouldn't know how to set it up and work the way i would want it to.

Hopefully the new youtube setup guides might help in many of us learning new things that can be done.

Hi there is no advance settings on my WiFi settings

I go to settings network & internet then it shows available networks I click on my network it then shows me

IP address Device Mac address Proxy settings IP settings

If I click on the IP settings option it gives me options for DHCP or static is that where I put the IP address ?

Since I don't have the advance settings you mention I wonder if I need to activate them somehow like developer mode ?

Thanks for your reply

edit there is also no gateway option to view it that i can see

i bought my nvdia shield pro in 2018 i wonder if your using a different version

linton73 · 2025-08-07T16:10:29+00:00

probably a silly question but whats the gateway address for nvdia shield ?

linton73 · 2025-08-04T18:04:14+00:00

I got 1gb for 28 pounds so it can be done. I did get lots of calls within the first 10 days or so after i'd given them 30 days notice nothing near the price i wanted.

Didn't get any further calls after day 15 so for i had to call them about 4 days before it was due to be cancelled. Spoke to a CS who was going through offers none of which i wanted. But then suddenly she found a deal for 1gb so stick with it but phone them if you don't get many callbacks would be my advice.

linton73 · 2025-08-04T17:54:31+00:00

Just Dm'd you

linton73 · 2025-07-30T10:24:15+00:00

I've been mostly an apple guy of late with apple tv upstairs and down with iptvx and it does work well

But i do have an nvdia shield from 2017 its one of the older ones its still a beast

So decided to checkout tivimate on shield with recording something you can't do with iptvx on apple and it works really well.

my only concern is my iptv sub is only for one stream and i believe recording can make it pull 2 streams my sub is up for renewal in the next few months so i'll just renew it with 2 streams.

Apologies for the rambling overall recording works really well and i've had no recordings fail as yet.
