I've used 32 connections for as long as I can remember, will have a go with 20.

I wonder if it's just a local routing issue or if VM have implemented traffic shaping. Interestingly, as VM say they 'manage' usenet and P2P, I did a quick P2P test and maxed the connection no problem. Does the policy apply equaly to both usenet and P2P or can it throttle one protocol more then the other?

I do remember there was a similar issue with slow speeds to VMs news server some 12 months ago, so I wonder if I'm experiencing something similar.

Cheers
