I'm interested in saving money, I know EN are not the cheapest but I didnt think their deal was that bad. (

Please can you expand on this?

See my first post that started this thread !
Do a trace via this link
http://www.easynews.com:81/slow/trace.phtml
And set your route via this link
http://members.easynews.com:81/route/
(Or click the normal route link but then click again on 'port 81' )
Also read the text on that page (especially the bold text). Try different routes and see..
Also make sure you download any way except via HTTP port 80.
(And IMO avoid NNTP because of the ascii overhead but thats another discussion ..)
Also see this page for searching
http://members.easynews.com:81/global4/search.html
Or preferably this one
https://secure.members.easynews.com:...l4/search.html
