I've finally got round to setting up my Newshosting account on my Windows 7 pc using Newsleecher.
On my old XP machine I had Newsleecher setup with Stunnel for SSL connections and used to get maximum throughput for my (then) 10mbit connection.
On my Windows 7 machine, I'm using Newsleecher with the SSL settings from the Newshosting site (Lite Package)
Lite
•hostname: news.newshosting.com
•port: 119
•max connections: 30 - set to 10 connections
•standard ports: 119, 23, 25, 80, 3128
•SSL ports: 443, 563 - used 563
Using SSL, my throughput is only 150kb (on a 25mbit connection now). Turning off SSL and using normal port 119 I max throughput to ~3mb.
Not had much time test yet but wondered if anybody had any explanation for the limit when using SSL?
