Ok I am new to newsgroups and got two quick questions. I can download at 1100KB/s from the net however whle downloading articles I am only getting around 250KB/s why?

Is there a way to download more than one article at the same time with newsleecher v3.9?

Ok well it looks like I have almost answered both of my questions... I figured out how to download more than one article in newsleecher. I tried 5 connections but got an error so It looks like 4 is the most I can get.... I can also download at like 800 kb/s now however each article is still not going faster than 250kb any ideas why?
 
It is suddenlink I have cable service in two different towns with two different providers. Can I add a 2nd Server for the other provider and download more articles at once?
 
Your Internet service is probably like mine.
I can download at 1200-1300KB\s, but my ISP throttles each connection. The more connections you have to Usenet, the faster you'll be able to go.

I would look into a Usenet provider that allows more than four connections, not a second provider like you are suggesting.
 
You only need one provider.
You just need a provider that gives you more than four connections at once.

I.E. my provider gives me 20 connections at once.
 
You can use as many providers as you like, many clients support that.
However, if you are paying for both it is a waste of cash. If one is provided by your ISP, the pay provider's service is probably gonna be so superior it won't make sense to use the free one.
