I don't pay for a premium usenet service anymore. I only use NZB-SA for my NZBs these days and I get 8-10MB/s with Afrihost's complimentary service.

i actually got no connection with the AH service on NZB - SA, despite the fact that the connection was a success when adding the deets in. I tried refreshing, but still didnt work.

any ideas? it worked before

How strange. All you can really do is check your server settings I guess. Make sure you're not trying to login or use an atypical port. It's always worked fine for me.

I use Newsbin Pro btw. What are you downloading with?

Strange speeds at the moment.

Did 3 tests, on a 20mbps line and got speeds of

Ookla 8.6mbps
Mybroadband 4.7mbps
Telkom 16.67mbps

Why would i get different speeds likes that?

Results don't look good at all here, very strange seeing latency spike within our IPC here.
What DNS servers are you using?

We have new offerings? ;)
Are you referring to the new tags on the site?

Is this not due to data roll over?
