Hi there.

Doing speed tests, I can get up to 10 meg via HTTP. But via newsgroups, I can only manage 380k with 16 connections. At 8 connections it's only 200k.

Sounds like contention? Bittorrent brings the connection to it's knees. Connections keep timing out. All this with 20k max upload and an average of 70k download.

Anyone got any ideas? Perhaps it's local to Portsmouth (Cosham)?
