What has happend to speed
Posted by AK on November 3rd, 2003


Can someone tell me what could have happened to make downloading of posts
here in 24hours extremely slow? I have no problems with my emails, they
download in seconds, it's only here in 24hrs. I've tried synchronising using
all the options and it makes no difference, I can only assume it has
something to do with my settings? I have tried configuring every witch way I
can think off, but I can not get my computer to download as fast as it use
to here in 24hours. I am using Win98se, OE, with broadband 150k connected by
NTL. Now, I know what you are going to say about NTL, as if has all been
said before, but I was downloading a lot faster last week.

Sorry; but it *is* probably just still NTL. Any news-server can vary
day to day, or hour-to-hour; depending on a variety of conditions and
factors. From number of users, to technical problems, to a stiff breeze
and slight humidity.
