I upgraded my speed with Comcast to 6mbps but unfortunately I can't seem to get more than 2.8 from Giganews. I'm just curious if anyone else out there has the same issue.
Also what Newsreader are you working with these days?
For a long time I was using Grabit, it has one of the best interfaces and can update multiple groups at once. But it friggin sucks at resource management, it will literally drain away all the resources you hav available. It's also very bad at working with groups with large amounts of headers.
Newsbin Pro is what I'm currently using and in comparison to the Grabit interface its a bit clunky. however I've had no resource issues when it comes to large groups (a.b.dvd, a.b.multimedia, a.b.hdtv, etc..). My problem (and this could be a user error) is that I can't always recover spools, which is very irritating. There's nothing worse than waiting 2-3 hours to update a group and then later find out that after you close and open the reader the damn thing won't read the spools. Not sure why that happens on occasion.
Newsleecher seems to be a good reader although I have limited experience with it. The interface is appealing and it seems to do well with large groups and the resource management is very good. I'm not sure if it can update multiple groups, if so I'd defintely switch over to it as my current reader.
