I have a 2 Mbps line so I won't really notice anything
but your total speed shouldn't be affected. Its just that the two accounts are sharing your line speed. At night I leave the PC on one account to download, and that goes normal full line speed while the other account on the modem is not in use, so I don't think you will see any problems.I have a 2 Mbps line so I won't really notice anything
That makes mores sense I understand how it works now.
So if I download over the WiFi and on the pc i would basically get like 50/50 of the total line ie 40Mbps would be 40/2 ?

I am not sure how the traffic is divided, I guess it depends on your modem? When I download NZB's on the PC the rest of the network really struggles, it's almost unusable for phones on wifi. This is probably because the NZB's have 20 connections running simultaneously? If Limit the download speed it works ok for the phones. Maybe if you have a better routing system (mikrotik/pfsense) you can set better qos.
But yes, ideally your 40 Mbps line would be split into two 20 Mbps lines if both accounts are being used equally.

They are similar to torrents, but you download from a server instead of a swarm.
Omg... Here all these years I thought it was a news website

The original purpose of news servers was exactly that, news.

So you download hundreds of gigs a month without NZB's? Thats impressive, do you only use torrents?
Glad you got it working.
Theres a nice guide here on the forum.
I paid for UseNetBucket account but found there was still corruption in files.
Now using VPS in Los Angelis with 80GB hdd running Debian and rTorrent.
I have tried torrent , usenet , filesharing and mirc.
Torrent is tops, especially if you only paying $10 a year for a VPS with 80gb hard drive.
Load up rTorrent in browser after vps is setup, then add torrent, once file has downloaded connect via sftp and download to my pc.
eh they have their own pros and cons, using both with private index's and trackers gives a lot of flexibility of content
