That's odd they were using easynews. That might explain the differences everybody is reporting.
Could everyone check where their vm usenet is coming from by opening the command prompt (goto run & type cmd) then type in netstat at the cmd prompt with only your vm usenet service connected & it'll list all your current connections.

A quick google search reveals that Highwinds has brought easynews.
Also netstat now shows that my VM connection is going to servers from hwng.net, which I assume is another server in the highwinds group (they've recently purchased quite a few usenet providers inc easynews) as opposed to last week when netstat showed me as being connected to easynews's servers.
Only took a week for them to switch us to a new (& presumably crappier) usenet server, which explains why everyone seems to be getting rubbish retention now.
I'll run some new tests & see what i'm getting now...
