I'm relatively new to Linux and am running a HP Proliant G6 ML350 server, for Plex, Sonarr and Radarr. Connected via LAN.



I have an issue with download speed, it appears like the speed is being capped on the server itself.



I have run the server through a VPN to rule out throttling but all it did is lower the speed further.



While running speedtest-cli I achieve around 240MB/s download speed. Which is what I should recieve.



The issue is with wget and Sabnzbd, they tend to max out at between 17MB/s and 28MB/s.



Could anyone help please?



Thank you,

          You're confusing units. Speedtest reports speed in megabits per second (Mb/s). wget and sabnzbd reports speed in megabytes per second (MB/s).



          One byte is 8 bits.



          The 23.7MB/s reported by wget is 189.6Mb/s. 28MB/s is 224Mb/s.



          So in short: you are getting the speeds you expect. You're confused by the units being different.
