When downloading using sabnzbd, I often extract straight to my external hard drive that is connected to the USB port on the back of my WNDR-3700, when one download completes and the other fires, my upload speed to the drive on the USB port caps out around 5 MB/s. If I pause the second download that has just started, the upload speed doubles and peaks around 10MB/s.
I don't know if I am reaching a hardware limitation somewhere, or if it is a firmware bug.
Anyone else notice this?

Take a look at your router CPU usage, I am guessing you are hitting the cpu limit to process the work load.kingwaffle wrote:When downloading using sabnzbd, I often extract straight to my external hard drive that is connected to the USB port on the back of my WNDR-3700, when one download completes and the other fires, my upload speed to the drive on the USB port caps out around 5 MB/s.
