The other thing is that the USB has an overhead on your PC and slows that down a bit as well, so the dedicated ethernet port is definitely the better option. The only reason for use of USB is ease of set up.

What speeds should i be getting? I'm not using a wireless connection or a router. If i change ports to my newserver while I'm downloading does it instantly change over? Because if it does I've gone through all the ports supported by my newsserver while downloading with no increase in speed. T0TAL-RECALL what do you mean by AV? Thanks for the responses
What speeds should i be getting? if your newsgroups allow connecting on a different port than default port try that since your ISP might be limiting speeds on the default usenet port.
What speeds should i be getting? Im using a wireless router and its not effected my speeds... Before I had wireless network I got 250/300KB on my 2mb connectin and I still get that speed. Defo think somethings blocking your full speed... Check ports if your using a router and also check your AV to see if its effecting. Mine effects USENET dl s I turn if off just while I dl.
What speeds should i be getting? Are you using a wireless connection. That may limit your speeds, depending on what version it is. I have 10Mb/S and would expect to average over 1MB/S That's with a pre-N wireless router and a Wireless-g adaptor on the PC.
What speeds should i be getting? I'm using NewsBinPro and i've set it to 10 connections which is the most usenetserver.com allow.
What speeds should i be getting? To max out a 12Mb/s connection you'd need to download at 1.5MB/s. I don't know what software you are using, but I use NewsbinPro, which can open multiple connections to the same server in order to maximise bandwidth.
