Anyone with road runner?

I'm in NC, and I'd like to know how to get newsgroups set up with RR.. Never got into it, and I really don't have any idea what it is

Add me on MSN and I can walk you through the basics.

i used to get 600-800 but for about a month now it's been right around 100-200. i'd really like to know why. i'm thinking about calling them on monday.

I'm in Austin and used to use my RR news service almost constantly. The highest speeds I've seen with it are around 820, though normally max at around 800. I used to see frequent irregularities in speeds so I eventually went to Newshosting and then on to Giganews, where I currently have an account.

right now , nyc 12:26 pm is 800 KB/s 20 connections... I can tell u that it ranges beetween 700-800 kB/s.... for my standards it is superfast...I love it

Hey bro, what program did you use, I'm using Grabit and I only get 3 connections ( I switched to roadrunner, but they gave me a normal modem, and i needed wireless gonna drive down to their center in Queens and try get it replaced)

Thanks for the input guys. So its not just me who's not maxing out their speeds. I think the speed fluctuates probably because their newsgroup service is free and im sure amazing number of people use it, especially in a crowded place as my neighborhood. yea, i get the same great retention of about 100 days also. I try not to download too much so they won't start capping my speeds or downloads. maybe about 100 gigs max per month.

Thank u very much.
How do I know which group is wort subscribe to??

thank u very much

you can list them by the number of articles they have, if you click the tab where it says "articles" the bigger ones have most files and are most worthwhile to look through...but stay away from alt.binaries.boneless on rr newsgroups because retention is like a couple hours haha.

I have the digital cable+modem cable.
I use alt.binz

[kgoyal011]

yea. i think they cap their news-servers somehow when you use use them alot. i remember my speed went down when i was downloading loads of 360 games but it went back to normal after i didnt download for a while.

[Hershey K]

I don't think very many users are utilizing it. Probably has more to do with how RR prioritizes their bandwidth.

Also, not sure if you have the same limits as me, but I've downloaded an incredible amount of data in a month and was never "capped" or warned.

Just my two pennies.

Hey guys,
could u select SSL in your rr server setup?
I use alt.binz and it seems to me that whenever I select SSL , the download stop.
Does rr free server support SSL ??

thank u
