I use the very latest version of NewsLeecher and have been for a few years now, tried NewsBin, in fact tried a few before I settled with NewsLeecher

Strange thing is my mates now on AOL 8MB and he uses newsleecher a swell, but he says he's getting full speed on his BT DSL line

Also use ZA, some sites said get rid of it, but I've tried a couple of other firewalls yesterday, went back to ZA. Anyway downloading from ftp.blueyonder.co.uk today proved it ain't the firewall as it went to max bandwidth virtually straight away and stopped very close to the 10MB limit all the time

All I can think of is some restriction somewhere, but where. Checked all the settings in newsleecher, no bandwidth throttling is activated. So don't know. I didn't change any settings, except to the display side so that I can see what bandwidth I'm getting, and that shouldn't effect anything like the bandwidth

Just looked at the NTL newsgroups ... Very errrr sparse
