Hi, Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is it something to do with my setup, router etc? The articles download but they burst 80-120KB/s for a second or too then idle and keep doing the same. Look at the graph on the bottom left. Any ideas?  |

Hmm, now its just sat there saying 'Idle (Transfers Scanned)' *Sigh*.
I am sure I used to use this program a few years ago and it was fine.
Edit: and now its in its burst mode again. lol.

I don't want to pay for something, if the program doesn't even work on my system properly. I want to fix this issue first.  |

I also use astraweb (unlimited for $11 special  ) But if you just want to test the program out try hitnews.eu (3 day free trial) |

Another thing it could be is if you are on a max option package. They are traffic shaped and could give a blast of data then nothing and so on.

Taken from their q&a pages
Question: How fast is the Karoo news service?
Answer: Each connection to the Karoo news service is restricted to 128kbit/sec; i.e. 16kbytes/sec.
Hope this helps.

I'm using grabit and Astraweb newsgroup, as you can see i get a very respectable 1700KB/s download speed using 10 ports equating to 6gb per hour. Below is one using karoo and the second using Astraweb..   |

karoo's new server used to be capped to 26k/sec for each port with a max of 2x ports connected. they have further reduced this so you get 35k/sec to 42k/sec maximum over the combined 2 ports. someone either screwed up, was testing something or sneakily enabled upto 170k/sec for about 3 days the other week. However, someone noticed and it was switched back down again. i'd say enjoy the bursts! the programs working fine, Karoo isnt! |

It isn't operated by Karoo.
Its a giganews feed.
usenet.karoo.co.uk. 28750 IN CNAME news.karoo.co.uk.
news.karoo.co.uk. 28750 IN CNAME europe.isp.giganews.com.
