Giganews 200/200Mbps - How Many Connections?
Posted: 24 Jun 2018, 10:39
I've been using usenet for around 14 years, but I've never really paid attention to the number of connections I use. Until recently I just used all 50, but I dropped to around 20 a year ago when I started using nzbget.
I've just got a shiny new 200/200 connection which was a major step-up from my 18/1. Unfortunately I'm struggling to download faster than 10MB/s and on average I'm only getting 3-6MB/s. I've always been a big believer of usenet being the best way to max out a line, so I know something's wrong my end as I can get 190Mbps from torrents and on speed tests consistently.
How many connections should I be using? I use Giganews for about 60% of my traffic and cube for about another 30%. I've tried 2,4,8 and 16 so far and to be honest I can't see a pattern. I've implemented all of the steps from the optimize guide apart from pausing will unpacking/repairing etc. I'm also using news-europe.giganews.com as I've always assumed this is right as I'm in the UK?
All help appreciated.
Edit: I seem to max out at 12MB/s with 40 connections.
