Welcome to Home Lab Highlights, I’m your host, Jamie. Today we’re talking about a blazing-fast Usenet download that hit 1.1 gigabytes per second with SABnzbd—yes, you heard that right—“Usenet to Plex in under two minutes.” Our redditor used a 100-gigabyte RAM drive for both incoming and completed files, backed up by a 100 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe swap just in case. Their media library lives on a RAID0 NVMe SSD array made up of WD SN850Xs, and they’re pulling from two Usenet providers—EasyNews and Eweka—for maximum throughput. On the networking side, it’s 10-gigabit symmetrical fiber, with an SFP+ DAC connecting the router straight to an Unraid server powered by an Intel i9 13th Gen CPU. The result? A Usenet to Plex pipeline that clocks in at over a gig per second. What’s your fastest run? Send us your stories for our next episode.
