narco220 is an unknown quantity at this point
Newsgroups unusable even at 1am!

Here I am on a 50mb connection at 1:20am downloading via newsgroups and I can't even get a speed above 6kB/s!

Are virgin blocking newgroups now? because I just tried a torrent and im getting decent speeds with them,

I've also tried both ports 563 and 443 with the same resault.

I'm wondering if virgin have started limiting the amount we can download from newsgroups per month?

Looks like its supernews thats the problem on both eu and us servers as I just tried another provider and the speeds are good.

Looks like I need to cancel my supernews sub
