Re: Very slow usenet access (newshosting)
>In newsbins case if you set 4 connections in the options it will download 4 files at once which means it will utilise your connection speed far better than it would do if you only had 1 connection.<

The latest Newsbin opens many connections on the same file.
It also has the facility to simultaneously download all your group headers which can really speed things up.

Unfortunately the routing problems to easynews are no better, I currently need 20 connections to max out my 10meg conn. Actually it's only 8.1meg as I have a Tjet. :-(
