Has anyone seen slow performance from LUGNET's nntp server?  The http server
is very fast and nimble, etc. but whenever I connect via nntp, it's always
slow and sometimes dropping the connection, whether I use port 119, 8000, or
8080.

Cheers,

My subjective observation is that performance is definitely deteriorating.... Here are a couple of tracerts... I have blanked out the first two network addresses, my client is confidential. But with times under 10 ms they may or may not matter much. (...) (25 years ago, 11-Oct-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
