#60607 — NG problems

Anyone with an explanation as to why, at night headers are taking ages 
to download to the extent of timing out, it happens on my XP computer 
with seamonkey but it also happens on thunderbird through a separate 
linux computer.
This only seem to leave myrepublic with its modem or astraweb.
It does seem to be associated with the time of day
PS also eternal sept, which seem to let out astraweb.
only seems to leave web interface.

Inexplicable as ookla gives same speeds even at the period of my problems

you check your computer with CCleaner and use it to clean both windows
and registry? Also malware scan

What about the completely separate new computer with cinnamon on it 
having the same problem?
I am beginning to get paranoid,Think ASIO is doing it.

This new  40 plus speeds fibre and Usenet does not work as well as it 
did with dialup.
Maybe the modem differentiates between usenet and normal browsing ??

It is picking up speed now,11.45 aprox.
How could congested  times slow usenet but not ordinary browsing?

Congestion should be over by then anyway.

I don't see any real effect until about 8:30pm now.

I used to be able to see the school kids get home from work,
stuff their little faces and then get on the net about 4pm but
with the reconfig that Optus Wholesale did on my POI, don't
see that at all anymore.

And by any effect, I mean the download speed graph on
speedtest.myrepublic.com.au, it starts to get noticeably
more spiky after about 8:30pm doesn't have a huge
effect on the actual download speed number tho.

In theory they could be selective about what gets priority when congested.

Unlikely that they would deprioritize usenet when congested tho.

It is on a different port. Maybe they proritise port 80 (HTTP), 443
(HTTPS), maybe some common Email ports, and have a lesser priority
for everything else.

Easily tested by posting through Google groups.

Duh. I meant that the usenet volume is unlikely to be
big enough for anyone to consider deproritising it
during peak times, if they even know what nntp is.

More likely what streaming uses given that when that
starts to buffer is very noticeable to the customers.

Even less likely now that so many use web mail.

No evidence of that with everything else slowing too.

And it can't be happening anyway given my nntp traffic
doesn’t slow in peak times and I use the same RSP and modem.

You can connect to Eternal September and Aioe on port 80:
http://www.eternal-september.org/index.php?showpage=techinfo
http://news.aioe.org

Are you using SSL (NNTPS) or TLS? Might be worth disabling (or even
enabling) that.

myrepublic state that their connection is optimised for streaming. that 
may have something to do with it

Nope, I don’t see that effect at all with MR.

The congestion could be local to the usenet servers rather than at your 
end.
My wife watches online videos sourced from Asian servers. At seemingly 
uncongested times she gets a lot of buffering. I do a speedtest on local 
servers here - no issue. Do the same speedtest using servers in Asia - 
Singapore, Bangkok, etc. and the cause becomes very apparent - with high 
ping times and very low DL speeds.

Nope, works fine here with nin, the MR modem and Windows Live Mail
and with Newstap on iOS, both with wifi on the MR modem and with 4G,
no difference between those at all.

Not sure what operating system you are using (XP)
But WIN10 if you left click your 
internet task bar icon 
and select 
"troubleshoot problems" 
it may fix it or point you in right direction.

Unlikely when browsing works fine but nntp doesn't.

I keep saying, the same problem with two different computers  with 
different operating systems both fairly newly installed.
