Ugh, this is like maxing out a dial up connection. Im going at about 60k here, and maxing out it would be about 700k...
This is about the same speed i get on http downloads, maybe the same problem with both?
Edit: Yup, I just did a giganews speed-prediction test using the European one and got about 500k. Sure giganews might be a little faster then the hitnews.eu, but obviously not that much.
Tried other ports?
Any reccomendations? So far just the default, 119, and a random try: 34.
I don't know much about them but if you are able to use SSL on your account:Quote:

That usually helps if ISP is throttling something.

have you always had http speed issues, or is that a recent think ?
run the speedtest on dslreports.com and let us know the results ?
Any chance you can try to download from an FTP server that you know should have good throughput ?
Looks like i mixed up kiloBITS and KB/s.
*facepalm*
But if http and usenet usually go at the same speed whats the advantage of using usenet?
hitnews prob blocked your ip if u are using the 3day trial :yup:, just buy a 20$ usenetvault acc
Why would they block it? I bought a month, sharing it with some people. It's pretty sweet.
I'd still like to here some peoples opinions on http v. usenet though.
I don't understand, http v. usenet?
Internet vs. Usenet?
How do they compare for downloading, what advantages does usenet downloading have.
