Re: Dodgy Newsgroups?
It is a bit flaky from time to time. I don't use them often enough to make it worthwhile paying, so just give up until the following day when it normally sorts itself out.

Re: Dodgy Newsgroups?
I've had trouble with news.hosting server... only getting between 60 and 120 tonight, but also have ntl server added to leecher, and that was downloading faster than news.hosting... I have added a total of 8 news.hosting connections which has upped it to 600K but still not over 1000K which I should be getting. I did a test on giganews, that shows my connection as 1mb not 10mb
