I contacted Easynews about slow connections and I was told that NTL are having problems and are throttling usenet connections at certain times.

I have confirmed this in that easynews downloads are at about 16K b4 11PM and then they shoot up to 236K (2MB connection). I get the same results on all proxy/port configurations and also when using NNTP.

I don't know whether this is an NTL technical issue or whether they are deliberately restricting the bandwidth to usenet connections.
