@insightbb.com |  [Speed] Easynews Throttling?
Anyone know if Insight is trying to throttle Easynews? As of this morning I am getting 1 byte/second downloads from their service (yes, 1 byte a second). That's after dropping and reconnecting and everything. |

Louisville, KY | I'm with PowerUsenet and seems it's been throttled back to around 3Mbit or so. This started a few weeks ago about the time myself and other received the 'excessive bandwidth usage' emails. |

Well, I use my g/f's usenetserver acct, and I am seeing a throttle of about 130KB/sec per connection.
UNS claims they do not do any throttling on their end. So, make your own conclusions. 
So, I am guessing all NNTP traffic connections are infact throttled on insight's end.

said by madmax2000  :that is correct unless you use our news service If by our you mean Insight's (reselling Giganews) news server then yes, you aren't capped at 130KB/s per connection, but 30KB/s per connection. |

| I also use GIGANEWS and after switching to Vista, I'm all over the place. It goes from under 1mb if I use newsleecher, and up to 8mb if I use newsbin...I'm at a loss. I read about Vistas auto network settings and wonder if thats the issue. Is there a way to set them to function like XP's? I also have cable nut so if there is a .css file that works PLEASE!!! let me know.
I'm attempting to Google search but haven't had much luck.

Do you use any kind of download manager? I highly suggest using Free Download Manager FDM for easynews. Here is what I get constantly.
