Boost NZBGet Speeds with Tweaknews Settings

NZBGet’s performance with Tweaknews can be tuned for faster and more reliable transfers. This guide outlines technical and environmental factors that influence speed.

1. SSL Connection Balance

Tweaknews supports up to 60 connections. Start with 20 and adjust upward in increments based on performance.

2. Verify Server Hostname

Use news.tweaknews.eu as your primary hostname.

3. Disable Post-Processing During Transfers

If you use scripts like unpack or repair, disable them during transfer periods for faster throughput.

4. Check for Bandwidth Competition

Make sure other Internet-connected devices aren’t consuming bandwidth heavily while NZBGet is active.

5. Router Tweaks

Enable QoS and prioritize NZBGet traffic. If supported, assign NZBGet a static IP and priority tag.

6. Software Version Matters

Always update NZBGet to the latest stable version for best compatibility with Tweaknews servers.

7. Avoid Excessive Queue Size

Too many items in queue may cause delays. Keep the queue lean and monitor logs for any slowdowns or errors.
