NewsGroups

  • Karma

Yeah. Newsgroups are the shit. 1200 kbs down = permanent O face

lol at 1200 down
weak!!

:stuck_out_tongue:

My speeds are shitty! I have 10 simultaneous downloads, and not a single one of them is about 65-70kbs

what gives?

usenetserver.com is the service

btw, this is a business class Time Warner connection

Are you using SSL?

Try to done down your threads to about 6-8 and see if that fixes it. I average at least 1-2MBps down

not using ssl

tried that, only went up by a small margin, if I only allow 2 simultaneous, I get just below 200kbs

edit: same results with newshosting.com

edit 2: I am using Unison on a mac

edit3: grabit + newshosting.com + wireless connection = ~600kbs

Strange. I always cap out my internet connection with usenetserver.com

yeah, I think that it has to do with the clients. I am running more tests.

I always used NZB Drop for newsgroups on my Mac. Never had a problem with speeds ever.

Ya it seems like it. I have never had a problem with UNS speeds other than when they first offered SSL connections and people just bombarded it.

Also, you can use any client and just download stunnel on your computer. You can use that to proxy SSL connections even if your client doesn’t support it.

Anyone have a cracked version of Newsleecher that works on vista?

The ones I found dont seen to crack properly and detect the newsleecher.com entries in my hosts file
