2 ?s What determins Speed & how to download multiple articals at once

[hevnbnd]

Ok I am new to newsgroups and got two quick questions. I can download at 1100KB/s from the net however whle downloading articles I am only getting around 250KB/s why?

Is there a way to download more than one article at the same time with newsleecher v3.9?

Ok well it looks like I have almost answered both of my questions... I figured out how to download more than one article in newsleecher. I tried 5 connections but got an error so It looks like 4 is the most I can get.... I can also download at like 800 kb/s now however each article is still not going faster than 250kb any ideas why?

It is suddenlink I have cable service in two different towns with two different providers. Can I add a 2nd Server for the other provider and download more articles at once?

Your Internet service is probably like mine.
I can download at 1200-1300KB\s, but my ISP throttles each connection. The more connections you have to Usenet, the faster you'll be able to go.

I would look into a Usenet provider that allows more than four connections, not a second provider like you are suggesting.

Newsdemon allows 20 bots in premium account...

newshosting... 10 bots i think.

So will the second provider work? Anyone got that to work?

You only need one provider.
You just need a provider that gives you more than four connections at once.

I.E. my provider gives me 20 connections at once.

well seeing that my provider only gives me 4 can I add the server for my other account at a different location and connect to it as well?

You can use as many providers as you like, many clients support that.
However, if you are paying for both it is a waste of cash. If one is provided by your ISP, the pay provider's service is probably gonna be so superior it won't make sense to use the free one.
