It may just have to do with your ISP throttling your ports, but not the SSL port.Originally Posted by winmac

I guess what's not mentioned, maybe it was, SSL defeats "shaping" in most cases, unless your ISP gets smart (some are, some aren't) and they just shape both of the major Usenet ports (all 3, SSL sometimes has 2), so if you get faster downloads using SSL, just means your ISP is traffic shaping you...I don't know whether this has anything to with ssl.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to use the SSL ports if it's available to you. Maybe I'm just too paranoid.
I thought they knew you were downloading but didn't know what.

An Excerpt from: A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
by John Perry Barlow
Read more hereGovernments of the Industrial World, you weary giants of flesh and steel, I come from Cyberspace, the new home of Mind. On behalf of the future, I ask you of the past to leave us alone. You are not welcome among us. You have no sovereignty where we gather [...] I declare the global social space we are building to be naturally independent of the tyrannies you seek to impose on us.
