Setup: Internet Conn. Max Speed and set it to 30Mb.
That became a lot more stable for me and my average download was about 3000 odds.

Many thanks. After toying around, finding an SSL port for giganews i've found what appears to work (basically SSL port 563, 20 connections). I a now have a consistent, solid download speed of 3.65Mb/s. This is perfect.
Now, the question still begs; why? Why have I needed to jump through hoops to get the service I pay for? The hardware is obviously flawed (lets hope the upcoming firmware update helps this) and im sure there's some rather fishy traffic shaping going on with any usenet access. My guess is after using SSL and a random port, they can't shape my **** anymore(?)
Anyways, thanks for the help, I appear to be a once again happy VM customer. Until next time.
