I really sold it though, after two weeks I just had enough. I WAS PISSED!
This isn't even about just newsgroup downloading, it's basically almost all of SoCal that are having speed issues in general.
edit: RR doesn't seem to throttle, which makes me happy. I've download 500GB+ for about 5 straight months and speeds remained the same and I never got a phone call or service cut.

Well my only experiances are with grabit and altbinz, in grabit it opens up connections and downloads different files using these connections, like connection (a) will download file (1) and connection (b) will download file (2). But in altbinz it downloadoads pieces of one file ( articles) at the same time, so you'd be downloading 5 (articles) from the same file.
Hi n18,
me too I use alt.binz.
I set up in servers
news-server.nyc.rr.com
5 numbers of connections
port 119
no usern and no passw
So as u said Alt.binz download automatically 5 articles from thye same file.
How is it possiblke that u do not have connection problem ??
In NY area , I can have just 4 working connections...
thank u
While I have RoadRunner crew in here, is it possible for me to access RoadRunner's newsgroups from my university's internet connection? They ban torrents so if i could use my parents' RR newsgroups it would be a godsend.
I can only use 4 connections now too. Speeds aren't suffering too much as I only used about 6-7 connections anyway; I get around 500-1300kb/s speeds depending on what time of day it is
hi guys, today is ipossible to download....I can have just 1-2 connections at 100 kbps speed in total
Anyone know what is going on??
thank u
I'm on 4 connections right now and the speed is around 400. I also noticed that the retention time is now awful. I'm attempting to download a file that's 29 days old and having problems when I remember I could download files that used to be 85-110 days old.
Hopefully these are just temporary problems and not permanent ones
