Whats your average download speed?

[Mr Hex Vision]

Oh sweet. How much difference does it make how far you are from the server? say Netherlands to America.


Also when usenet is using almost all of your bandwidth does browsing the net prety much come to a stand still or what? or do you need to limit your news reader on how much bandwidth to use.

try to get a server in your country but it varies, but most providers provide server close to you

when browsing it makes almost no diff unless u open apps like a streaming vid like youtube, you can even cap ur download to spare yourself some bandwidth to play with :fst:

Ah sweet.


And one or 2 connections should be fine, heck I'd be happy with getting half my down speed. Also can you pause and continue downloads automatically? I mean I guess you could just do the parts that you havent done with a new nzb.

I don't know how many connections you are going to need to get a decent download rate. Just gotta try it and see how it works out for you.


In every client I have seen, if you shut it down, there is a way to resume the download without anything special being done. No need to even redownload the NZB as you suggested. It should just pick up exactly where it left off.

oh, sweet. Ive always had problems with bittorent slowing things down, and not even using close to the full bandwidth.

Also I'm getting an account at hitnews.eu because its the only one that I know of that allows multiple users at the same time. Does anyone know if they have a server in the states too? (I know they got one in the Netherlands)

1mbps

My line speed is 6 Mb/s and it maxes it and then some for every download I do every time. When I download with rapidshare using something like Flashget I get about 5-5.5 Mb/s

20 meg maxxed out

if you post a big enough file; youll be posting cr*p (you will post a nuked file), just get a request in, leave the uploading to the the scene :whistling ..... usenet is way diff from p2p, u dont want to upload cr*p from you pc, trust me; .................:fst: no offense bro, do what u want

You have no idea what you're on about, the 'scene' has nothing to do with usenet - all posts are from normal users or groups of them, and without them usenet wouldn't exist. I post all the time from home, it's hardly difficult. RAR your files, create a par2 set, post.

I download at faster than the advertised speed of my line, so maxed out and then some.

None of the major usenet providers allow multiple users. Most will ban you readily.

[dyehardxen]

really? My line speed is about 700kb/s but I only get about 60kb/s on rapidshare.

[lillith25]

maxed out........

+1, Everyone using my network knows when I'm using Usenet lol.
