Newsdemon slow speed

[hyperx136]

Anybody getting slow speed on Newsdemon? I'm only getting like 25kb from each connection. Even when i use one, two or 20, it's always 25kb each connections.

What client are you using?

I'm having the same problem, using NewsLeecher, but all other downloads seem to be going at my regular 20Mbit

[hyperx136]

i used unison on mac and grabit on windows. Both of them getting such a slow speed. However, i also get all the other downloads at 20mbits like mikezs.

Today i have a very low speed ~ 500kb/sec. I am a Newsdemon member since yesterday and have a avg speed of 5-5.5 Mbyte/sec using a 50 Mbit Connection.

Change to US and EU Server but without increasing the speed, changed also the ports.

Switching to the other account to usenetnow or astraweb looks like pretty nice. Usenetnow near 5 MB/sec and Astraweb over 5MB/sec.

Some knows Powerusenet? Seems to be a reseller from Giganews.

Nothing changed until now. 500 kb/sec. I think they are reducing the speed.
With Astraweb i get the maximum of 5.5 Mbyte/sec. I signed the offer at Newsdemon < 10$ /monthly.

It doesnt matter using a EU or a US Server. Is there a Download Caop? For example 50G/daily or something?

Now after 4 days max download speed is 500kb/sec. Astraweb/Usentnow over 5MByte/sec with my 50 Mbit connection.

I used this offer

I thought this was without a download or speedlimit.

Have you contacted them?

I know when Astraweb has such problems, they'll change you to a different server upon your request.

Yes, i contact them on Sunday. But i didnt get any answer so i canceled the account.

I dont know if http://www.newshosting.com is the same like Newsdemon. They have the same end ip adress (EU-Servers)

Could be that they are the same provider or only a reseller from someone?

thx

Hi.

Already found this on the net

o , here is the thing yes you are correct newsdemon gets their feed from highwinds (easynews and usenetserver and newshosting.com are all part of the core of highwinds that i worked at.... now newsdemon, my instance of them , apparently unlimited , doesn't mean that at all , its unlimited to 200 - 250 gb / month , because out of the blue half way into my monthly cycle ........ they capped my downloads at about 128kpbs , and after dealing with this annoying 800 number answering machine to no prevail i wrote email to their tech support to get a suprising reply , that basically said.... i had used what they called "unlimited" and that if i wanted to i could open up another account incur more charges and get my "unlimited feed again".

That is fact. Ok i have downloaded ~ 200 GB at one day shame

After that they throttle my speed.
