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.

It's always been a bit slow for me - but I am on the other side of the
Atlantic.

One thing which happens regularly, but not consistently, is I don't get
the last 2 posts until I stop & start news collection.

Alternet is/was having problems (No?!?! It's a first!!).  LUGNET is on the
otherside of (on average) 5-7 ALTERNET routers, I get flakey connections
to 'em.  Fortunately, HTTP is fairly robust, and email (my usualy method)
is great.

Ciao!

BTW: Yeah, that NO was sarcasm, I'll try to stop that.... :)
