Super slow connection

Hi,

Since a couple of days as I have this issue that my downloads in NZBget are super slow.
The logs look like this:

error Sat Nov 15 2025 21:19:42 Could not resolve hostname news.hitnews.com: Error -3 - Try again

info Sat Nov 15 2025 21:19:14 nzbget runs on 0.0.0.0:6789
info Sat Nov 15 2025 21:19:14 using /config/nzbget.conf
info Sat Nov 15 2025 21:19:14 nzbget 24.7 server-mode

I tried different ports (443, 119, 563), changing my password, limiting connections but none of those helped resolve the issue.

Does anybody know how I could fix this?
Thanks!
 
Hoi,

Gebruik je een VPN?
Hoeveel verbindingen heb je ingesteld?
Heb je al een modem/router reset geprobeerd?

Stuur ook even een screenshot mee van je instellingen in nzbget zodat ik even kan kijken aub of ik iets zie.

Groetjes
Bob
 
Hi, thanks for your reply!
Yes, I am using a VPN (airvpn), that wasn't a problem so far. Restarting the Router also didn't help.
This is my nzbget settings. SCR-20251116-imwz.png
Do you see anything thats off?
 
Also this is the configuration I am running in portainer on proxmox:

Code:
# Compose file for the *arr stack. Configuration files are stored
# in a docker folder mounted in root. Change to bind mounts if needed.
# All containers are ran with user and group ids of the main user and
# share to aviod permissions issues of downloaded files, please refer
# the read me file for more information.
version: '3.9'

When I set the number of connections to 50, the speed goes up by factor 10 from 50kb to 500kb but the errors persist and I'd still call that super slow 😅

Any other idea how I'd fix that?
