Usenet works fine for me, 2.1MB after midnight on most evenings.

What you could try is one of the 3-4GB tests some of the usenet providers offer port hop and use SSL, you can verify if youve been throttled.

Personally I'm with newshosting as they have a Euro presence, I also use SSL for downloads no matter what I download.

I have noticed a bit of a slow down in the evenings but I suspect its just getting slower with more people coming on board.

I do a lot of Distro hopping and developing with Rpath hence a lot of downloading, also I have Vista, Mac and XP flavour machines, PS3 and a Wii all require patching like its going out of fashion.
