Re: Very slow usenet access (newshosting)
ATM, NTL's news servers are having serious problems. Using Newsbin as I've always done to download from NTL news and it's giving all sorts of errors:
Read or Write Timeout (dozens of these in Newsbins 'Status Messages'. It seems to timeout, then connects and downloads a few chunks then times out again and repeats this cycle.)
Body Failed - Post not on Server (retrying the failed file starts it downloading again proving the post IS on the server!!)
Error talking to Server: 400 Too Many Connections (not many of these)
These errors cause the download speed on my 2mb connection to plummet to about <512k speed!
Tried: news.ntli.net, news.cable.ntlworld.com and news.ntlworld.com. All giving roughly the same errors! This is in the Nottingham area.
Checked the Service Status page and Phoned the Service Status line and there is nothing outstanding for anything!! Anyone elese experiencing abysmal downloads from the news servers?
