Usenet slow on fibre

[Doobrey]

Hi,

I have been on fibre for a couple of months and just yesterday my usenet speeds have been unusable! Am I the only one ?

Doobs...

Mine download at around 1.2mb/s maximum, everything else downloads at 3.2mb/s+

Who's the usenet provider?

Also it can depend on the age/popularity of the content as I'd imagine the newer/more popular content gets stored of far more servers in the providers cluster than the older less popular stuff.

Hi - the service provider is Astraweb.

Is there anyway to test another service provider to prove if its the usenet provider or sky? Does sky run a usenet service?

Anyone else on Astraweb having a similar issue?

Anyonee else on Sky having a similar issue?

Doobs

Get 7.3MB/s all day, all night. (I mean, any time of day. I don't use it 24/7)

I don't have Sky Fibre but I use Usenet Server Newsgroups - Uncensored and Unlimited Access - NewsDemon.com here and on my mum & dads 100mbit virgin and it maxes both out

Usenet works fine we get max speeds most of the time. It is dependent on the nzb file tho. As someone mentioned if the post is old (maybe 600 days plus) the speed will drop to sub 1Mb/s. never noticed it on adsl as we only got 600k and usenet was usually set to 300 so the rest of the house could facebook

Ahhh!

That's it - some of the .nzb files were over 600 days old! New files work perfectly.

Thank you posters!

Never seen that before...

Like I said we hadn't seen it before. It's only the extra speed that's highlighted it. Of course it could be sabnzbd or astraweb.

If we've got a file going slow in sab then moving another file to the top of the queue speeds the download up instantly.
