Hi, i just started using newsgroups for the first time ever today and i'm a little confused about the speeds i'm getting.

using newshosting.com and newsbin i've established 8 connections and i am downloading fairly fast, but its not maxing out my connection.

I thought it was a little strange for 8 connections not to deliver more than 10Mbit. Earlier today i was getting speeds of around 600KBs and tonight it jumped to around the 1.06MBs mark.

Is it NTL or NewsHostings which is limiting my downloads? cause i still have 1Mbit bandwidth to spare when newhosting seems to be topped out.

Using port 9000 and 8 connections.
