did you turn up the connection count? Maybe your wow area just sucks.

 

I've yet to hear worse then 400+ from any RR person. that 1.4gig per hour if i did my quick brain math right. I got 2 full dvd backs up of suse and ubuntu off ng last night in a feew hours total of 8 gigs

I have it set to 4 (which is as much as WOW allows)

 

less than a gig took about 4 1/2 hours... I'm running a brand new AMD 64 x2 machine... I probably just don't have something setup right.

That's your problem. Have you tried setting it higher to see what happens? I have mine set to 18 and I hit 860K/sec. I can download a 700 meg file in minutes.

Is anyone else getting "Unable to connect to news-server : 119|400 roadrunner.com. Your host connection limit reached - help@rr.com"?????? wtf

 

I'm gonna be pissed if I have to start using torrents again.

 

 

Yes, but not on everything I download. Probably 90% gets that error....

Just set your threds to 4. Honestly I don't have time at the office to research this until WE get the rest of our data center moved. I will ask but thats abt as fa ras I can dig in. there i no reason to go back to torrents since if you set it at 4 threads it still works fine.

 

 

....

 

Or pay for easy news. IMHO Its still way better then paying easynews

. But I'm going to ask about this for sure as it affects me to.
