Indeed

And for anyone who uses Newshosting. these two screen shots have just been done now. They show the same file being downloaded from Newshosting and from Giganews.

My feeling is that newshosting are not giving out the full story. There has been no jiggery pokery with these shots.

Re: "Punishment" IP ranges

As far as I was aware IP addresses were determined purely by what UBR and headend you are on (and previously what cable).

Yeah, I'm sure it's not IP ranges as such, but they're definitely shaping SOME usenet providers.

Interestingly when I phoned CS, they were very keen to know how much I was paying for usenetserver. Chargeable NTL newsgroups on the way?

Re: "Punishment" IP ranges

Ive found that i need to use different ports to newshosting at different times of the day. Im now maxing out my connection at almost 3pm sunday which was unheard of before, but if i leave it on the current port and try downloading at 7pm the speed will be shocking.
I have to change to a different port at night time, i still cant max out my connection but i get about 800 - 900k/sec on 10mb which is more than good enough.
