I've been using sabNZBD but it doesn't seem to max the connection for some reason. Any other better/faster clients available?
 
How fast is your connection? What news provider are you using? Are you using SSL? What port and how many connections? Who is your ISP? Answer those and we'll see what we can suggest. SAB maxes a 100 Mbps connection easily so you shouldn't be having issues caused by the client...

Newsleecher! :)

For as much as I love Newsleecher, buy it ONLY as a client as Supersearch goes down far too often, and support is virtually non-existent these days. Not to mention the amount of incompletes its indexing too. It makes me hate even ever getting hooked on it at all. NZB sites or just download the last few thousand headers is much less hassle.
 
It is maxing your connection as I explained in the other thread. Compare both apps against each other and use Resource Monitor to analyse the throughput.
 
SAB is clearly the best and most robust. It sits as a service as opposed to an application and can be controlled from any net connected computer or Android phone via an app. It's also very easy on resources.

I've used almost all the others over the years from Grabit to Unzbin and beyond and SAB has always been an avoidance of mine as it seemed too complex to set up but once I configured it it's a no brainer.

Been using it since 1st March 2011 and have had a trouble free 3.8TB of downloads via it.
