He has been a tech enthusiast ever since his dad let him play with computers in the early 80s. is an attorney and IT professional living off the grid. ![]() Real world results: my download speeds increased 10x just with this simple trick! Here’s hoping it helps you too if you are experiencing slow download speeds using SABnzbd or other NZB clients □ Thankfully, one of the most popular usenet hosting providers ( Giganews) supports secure connections via port 443 □ Thankfully, port 443 is generally for encrypted HTTP (HTTPS) connections and no ISP is likely to throttle that port much as it would affect all sorts of users visiting all sorts of sites (Gmail, Amazon, etc.) Lets Encrypt suggests symlinking or pointing directly to the certificates, but I run SABnzbd under my username, and certs belong to root, so unfortunately. NOTE: this situation is likely caused by Hughesnet throttling traffic on port 563, which is the standard port for USENET encrypted traffic. However, after switching from port 563 to port 443 my download speeds were back to normal! □ If your CPU supports AES acceleration (most CPUs these days), use AES128, which should be the fastest cipher and also be very secure (assuming the server hasnt messed with the cipher ordering on their end if youre worried about that, try AESGCM:AES256 instead). Encrypts communications between client and server so others can’t see information like your login credentials and what you are downloading. Some Usenet services allow securely encrypted SSL connections, whichmean that. NOTE Usenet servers hold all kinds of material, sometimes of questionable origin and legality. You can get these files from sites such as those listed below. An NZB file contains a full specification of all Usenet articles that are needed for a download. ![]() Create a self-signed certificate with OpenSSL From a command prompt type: openssl genrsa 1024 > host.key openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 365 -key host.key > host. ![]() I tried adjusting the number of connections from 3 up to 6 but that didn’t help. Next, you must tell SABnzbd which Usenet server you wish to use. Instead, it accepts NZB files to process. If you run SABnzbd behind an Apache proxy, you can create free valid certificates using Let's Encrypt. It used to get 120kbs+ download speeds but recently it seemed to be throttled to about 10-14kbs. Specific scenario: I have a backup Hughesnet satellite internet system that uses one of their slowest plans. Here is potential fix if you are experiencing slow USENET download speeds using SSL encryption and you are using port 563:
