For me a lot of files over a few months old are not only broken but for some reason they only allow a couple of connections to them slowing the speed right down.
Ive tried all the servers secure and insecure different ports and different newsreaders. I have a feeling Astra are migrating older files to lesser servers in an attempt to keep up with giganews retention

I have had enough of the slow speeds and corrupted files from Astra
