I use usenet for downloading a lot and until recentley have had no problems with it and achieved some high speeds - until last 2 weeks where i can still connect ok to servers but cannot download at all - the news reader just reports download speeds of less than 0.2kb/s - but is downloading nothing.
Any other programmes run at a nice speed - the problem is limited ot this programme.
I have tried:
- Tried Different Ports on my news reader
- different times of day
- tried exactly same credentials on a different internet connection all works fine#
- turning off firewall on router
I must be Orange throttling/traffic shaping - but i have read nowhere that they do this -and to be honest i don't download that much and have not received letters.. probably download less than 10gig a month. Has anyone else experienced Shaping on this type of traffic..
Its really annoying that i can't find a solution for this..

I've had no special problems myself. I use free news servers - Aioe and Gazeta mainly - and they're never particularly fast. However, one or two of the groups to which I subscribe get a couple of hundred messages a day, and they download in perhaps a minute or so. Certainly there's been no deterioration that's made me wonder if there's traffic shaping going on.
