NOTE you cannot use port 443 on VM's server, however should you use a paid for service then this should help.

Ta, I'll let him know.

Re: Now this really is taking the P....

Just for fun I tried a native android newsgroups app on my phone and a free newsgroup provider that gives 1mbit speeds (free account limitation). Max'ed out the full 1mbit on Three 3G. At the same time I tried my VM connection through news.virginmedia.com and got 4kb/s.

Kinda sad really :P

Re: Now this really is taking the P....

For the past few week now i've been seeing really low speeds well into the wee hours of the morning when using virgins news server. At first i thought it was my area simply being over used but normal http speeds are spot on during these times. So now i'm wondering if it's virgin themselves slowing down nttp traffic outside of their quoted restriction times or highwinds just being the usual pile of poop.

Actually it seems as if it has the full choice as the full service, just lower speed and access to retention. Surpised me too, grabbed an nzb file and it just started working, instally

Having unlimited mobile data use, can now grab thinks while im out and stream to my pc once home. Gotta love technology
