I am relatively new to this, 6 months or so, so bare with me please.
I've got 5 cams total all on BI (v5.9.7.4 x64) with three recording 24/7. Everything is on an old gaming rig. AMD 7 2700X, 16GB DDR4, 1GB nvmE, 16TB WD Red, (Internal) 4TB WD Red, (External) for other media and a 4TB WD Purple (Internal) for the cams. The box is currently running qBittorrent v4.6.4, Plex v1.41.1.9057 and BI. I'm on 1GB fiber and everything in question is a wired connection, my system, the old gaming rig, the cams, etc.
My problem is that when downloading via qbit over ~20MB/sec the cameras cut out. Under that threshold everything is hunky-dory.
I'm trying to ascertain whether this is a hardware; router, switch, HDD issue or a software; namely qbit or what? I've downloaded games via Steam and other large files graphics drivers and such without issue but those are usually on my main box not the media server. I am viewing the sub streams via a remote desktop connection but when I go back and look at the files they are missing hunks of time while I was downloading. I don't notice BI reporting usages spiking or anything but they start to lag before and after they cut out. They recover themselves shortly after without intervention.
It's not a big deal now that I am aware of it. I just changed my usual download times from late night to early morning when the cams are less important.
Is it the HDD write speeds? But they are two different drives? RAM? IDK I know just enough to f*&k things up but not enough to fix them hah.
Any help is appreciated.
