Thanks but that was the first thing I did, I followed the guide, as I'm a noob :)

UPDATE: I changed the port and the speed has picked up to 300k/s :D

What is your max speed? What does speedtest.com tell you?

300k/s is still not good ...

im a n00b to usenet myself (been usin it for 2 weeks) but i came from 4 years of Bittorrenting, i was lucky if i topped 120 kb/s but averaged around 50 kb/s usin bittorent ... started using usenet and, looking at my speed now, im hittin around 3mb/s ...
basically i cant help ur situation cause i dont know much myself, but i can cosign to what multiforce is saying ... stick w/usenet and try to figure out why ur speeds arent hitting what they could ...

it use to take about 8-10 hours to DL'd a 3gb file from bittorent ... now i can pull those in - in about a half hour or so ... stick w/it ...

service im using: http://newshosting.com/
NZB client: alt.binz

It may not be good compared to you, but it may be his max.
 
Anyone else with Powerusenet and with 100mbit connection speed?

I can't seem to max it.......the max speed I get is 8,8MB/sec and its rare that it goes that high, I should be getting 12,5MB/sec.....

there is defiantly something wrong speed wise you really should max out your connection. by the way who is your isp.

im with usenetserver/bt and im at a constant 720k

oh yeah are you uploading lots as well. that tends to kill your download speed.

try using their globalsearch for stuff you like. found a few Werner Herzog films listed there if that what your after.

I'm on usenetserver/rural internet
No other apps running....I tried globalsearch but it needs a login :( Thanks anyways...the thing is I have everything I've seen on usenet so far...my fault I guess for being old....:unsure:
 
lol as if 8.8mb isnt enough hehe i wish i would get that I tend to only reach 175.... even if my ddl would reach 750, i have 8mb net and use grabit using my internet provider news site.
 
I've got a 6 Mbit connection, and I tend to max that out. Sometimes it runs a touch faster. Typically I DL from usenet anywhere between 650-800 KB/s. Torrents are obviously much slower for me, unless I'm on a private tracker, and/or there are a ton of seeders.
 
If your max download speed is less than 20MB, most premium news provider should be able to max that out. If you cannot get to your max speed, it's most likely your ISP is doing something.

And go to a good nzb site like newzbin.com to search for the stuff you want. binsearch.info is not as good, but free.
