I've been with GN for almost 20 years and never had any compaint until
recently. I looked at highwinds/newshosting and it's about $50/yr
cheaper with longer retention. Might be worth it to switch. How many
different servers does their VPN have?
I pay for 25/25mbps up/dnl from my ISP and the activity graphs in task
manager and the vpn controls say 20-30 mbps but I timed my dls and I'm
really getting 2-3mbps. Even torrents dls say 2-3mbps but the graphs
read 25-30. It's throttled somewhere but I'm not smart enough to
figure it out.

I see the difference betweeen the 2 versions, I'd like to get the BP
one but I can't use the nzb. It pulls from the GN server which only
retains 1000 days :(
I'll figure something out, I'm not in any hurry....
