Use port 443 SSL to avoid the p2p/newsgroup file sharing traffic management policy, this will mean your newsgroup speeds won't be reduced until you hit the cap that is present for all downloads.

i use news.virginmedia.com, can't afford a pay one. Virgin's doesn't support SSL
xnews only uses 4 connections, when i try with binreader with 4 connections i get the same speed but with 10 connections i get 14-19mb instead of 10. I used to get full 20mb around 9 months ago then virgin must have dropped the max speed per connection. Binreader can't read newsgroups, it can only open .nzb files which is a shame.
