it's blatantly obvious you are bragging about downloading warez.
why are you doing this? do you think that makes you look cool? grow up.

Looks like they closed up that hole that allowed you to get more than 2 connections. I think I would've preferred that than the increased retention...
Noticed that too. I always liked getting 8 connections after about an hour. I have a 20GB block with another server but I never like dipping into it unless necessary. They should at least give us 4 connections max.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-Newsgroups-throttled-further-19629518 Sat, 15 Dec 2007 17:44:30 EDT Re: [OOL] Newsgroups throttled further? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-Newsgroups-throttled-further-19625430 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-Newsgroups-throttled-further-19625430 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 20:30:33 EDT Re: [OOL] Newsgroups throttled further? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-Newsgroups-throttled-further-19624963 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-Newsgroups-throttled-further-19624963 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:52:22 EDT Re: [OOL] Newsgroups throttled further? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-Newsgroups-throttled-further-19624635 said by jfhjfufhhfch :

Power users who will pay for boost are not happy.

OOL, we need better newsgroups!

I know, most don't have a clue why their on broadband and could use a tenth of whats available...

It's also a matter of electricity guys, must we run our fast power sucking computers for long periods of time? Think of it that way please, it's an energy and environmental issue.

Nice to see that OOl maintains that crappy level of service when it comes to the news group server.

Fios is looking better to me everyday.

I noticed today that while grabbing some articles using grabit that my combined dl with 2 threads was only 70-80 KB/s instead of the usual 120 KB/s. Each thread/connection seemed to be capped at 30-40 KB/s instead of 60 KB/s. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this.
It fluctuates... Sometimes, it even goes over 60k each for a little bit. But yeah, I've seen it stay below 60k/sec for awhile too (at times)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-Newsgroups-throttled-further-19571479 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 22:06:34 EDT Re: [OOL] Newsgroups throttled further? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-Newsgroups-throttled-further-19570626 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-OOL-Newsgroups-throttled-further-19570626 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 20:00:56 EDT [OOL] Newsgroups throttled further? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/OOL-Newsgroups-throttled-further-19569394
