Multithreads (2 or 3) on Easynews http site brings in the full speed on the Poplar Proxies, but single thread on the other proxies brings in full speed all the time.
So I'd guess the Poplar Proxies are capable of the full speed, but are somehow throttled whereas most of the other Proxies are not.
Strange and annoying, yet another proxy related problem it seems
I wish they'd just get rid of them as Freeserve/Wanadoo did...

Could be a coincidence, could be a reason - the proxies I always get full speed from (Colchester/Hersham/Swansea) appear to be Inktomi and most others (including Poplar) are NetApps - this is according to Robins page here:

Could this be the reason, the Inktomi Proxies can handle 3 meg speeds and the Netapp ones can't ?
