[Part 3] Download torrent & newsserver packages

[Carpenter]

Does anybody know why transmission is so much faster than nzbget with regards to download speeds (or maybe torrent vs nzb)?

I have a 20Mb connection and my RPi is connected through LAN. In transmission I get speeds over 2MB/s and in nzbget it stalls at ~960KB/s.

I'm on a 20Mb SunnyUsenet account but when I use this on my PC I also get speeds over 2MB/s. Is nzbget such a resource intensive application?
