I am currently using astraweb and I usually get download speeds of 150kbps+ but for some reason.. my download speeds start at about 150+ then it dwindles down to about 80kb/s When i download headers my speed increases again to 150+ any ideas why this is happening?.... When i first downloaded Newsleecher i got 150kbps all the time.. its wierd.. any help would be great.. I am using b15 and i downloaded b18 and same thing happens... and am registered
I am using Astraweb and I am on unlimited plan.. people normally get faster speeds then what i am getting.. and if set the bot count to 1.. it downloads even slower =(
What is your cpu utilization like when the downloads are slower? Also, do you have "Never reset hanging connections" checked in your options? You can gradually lose bandwidth if your bots start hanging one at a time.
But it still could be Astraweb... I had some bad speed problems with astra the last few days... sometimes it just dropped to 600kbit, then got up to 1500kbit again...

Ok. Did you download the same group of files using the same servers with NL & Newsbin? For example, get the group headers with each client. Queue up a group of files with NL. I don't know how long it takes until the speed drops, but after the speed change switch over to NewsBin. Choose the exact same files for download. What happens? I think it might be worth a try.
Anyways, if you've done this, well, nevermind. But, write back with the results.
