IS News Server proper setup with Grabit

[jannievdberg]

I need some advice on how to setup Grabit properly using IS news server. I have a 384kb connection with a local IS account. My downloads dont seem to be as fast as it can be at +-20kb. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong? Im still a bit of a n00b with the IS news server. Any help would be appreciated.

You're lucky you're getting 20KB/sec.

Thats normal for the newsservers and IS

yeah, 15kb-30kb per sec is normal for IS news. Unless the specific files u want is already cached on the server. Then u might see around 150-350kb per sec if your on 4mbit ADSL.

mostly mainstream stuff will be cached. like a specific tv-episode that almost everyone gets. or maybe a game etc..etc

yeah speeds depend if its cached or not........

just make sure your using news.is.co.za and set connections to 4.

Thought it went up to 5.

It did.

Mine is on 5 connections, getting about 18-22kb/s on uncached content at the moment...

I get 12 to 18KB/s on uncached stuff, with cached content I get around 39KB/s

It did.

Rather use altbinz @ http://www.altbinz.net/

Grabit while it looks better ect, has strange issues at times.
