USENET Port Throttling?

[cemt]

Hello, It's CEMT, one of the founding members.

I am getting high speeds on test, but only 4Mb on Usenet?
What can I do?

So many questions...

Is your usenet server a free or paid one?

What speeds does that server provide?

etc etc etc

Thanks !

Its Fully paid, I'm using EWEKA. Its 300Mps. And I get 20+ on VDC LTE

Its Rain, they throttle everything that can use a lot of data.

You would need to switch to SSL on a non ssl port like 80

According to this
Eweka | FAQ

All users can log on to the server 'sslreader.eweka.nl' via port 563 using their current login details. However, you will first need to select the SSL function in your news client.

V600-ServerOptions - Newsbin

You need to tick the ssl button and make sure the port is correct. Not sure if you get more SSL port options with Eweka but if you do try 80 or 21.

On 5G Premium they don't throttle anything so I don't need to do any of that which is nice.

Looks like Eweka also has nntps on port 443. That would be better than 563

That's cool - just don't abuse and hurt other users though - especially in the high load periods. If you see contention on the line, just give it a rest. It's the after hours shaping when there is spare capacity that irritates me.
