If when downloading from news groups during the day are your speed really slow? If so then your broadband company is probably throttling your downloads. There is an easy way around this if you are a frequent newsgroup downloader.

Change your non secure port from 119 to Port 80 or for SSL from Port 563 to Port 443 and you will download at full speed.

This is if you use GIGANEWS as your newsgroup.

Get the speed you paid for on your broadband!!
