Conducting Speed Tests with NZBGet Safely

Rather than relying on NZBs from Indexers, NZBGet provides a safer and more accurate test method. This method uses a temporary server entry and data cap to evaluate performance with Eweka.

Speed Testing Steps

1. Configure a Base Server:
   In Settings > NEWS-SERVERS, set up a verified Eweka server entry that connects successfully.

2. Duplicate and Rename for Testing:
   Clone the server and name it something like "Eweka SpeedTest".

3. Limit Transfer Amount:
   In the new entry, set Optional to yes and define X.Limit to a small size (e.g., 100 MB).

4. Prioritize the Test Server:
   Assign Level 0 and disable other servers temporarily.

5. Restart NZBGet:
   NZBGet will run the capped test automatically.

6. Interpret Results:
   Use observed throughput to assess connection quality and decide on port or IPv4/IPv6 changes.
