When I dl from newsgroups, I never get a faster speed then 800 to 850kbit/sec. When I check my bandwidth though, it says that my download speed is 5 MB/sec at all times. Does anyone have an idea why the speed in newsgroups is so much slower than what my internet connection can bring? And why is it always in the same range (low 800's)? I have the feeling that I have some settings wrong.
