KingKapalone posted:What's the point of having gigabit then? Don't need the speed for anything else. No idea. I actually downgraded from 100mbit to 60mbit a few years ago because of this exact reason. Then shortly after Charter upgraded me to 120mbit at no additional charge. The bastards. Though, I would actually like way higher than the 5mbit upload they give us. It's poo poo.

KingKapalone posted:What's the point of having gigabit then? Don't need the speed for anything else. Excess capacity allows you to have these automatic downloads happen and not interfere with anything. Simultaneous users. If you live alone and don't mind micromanaging your downloads it doesn't matter, but if you live with a few other people who like to play games, use VoIP, watch 4K Netflix/Amazon, etc. it's nice to have the headroom to allow all these things to happen at once with no one noticing.

Oh that's reassuring to hear, so it's not just me getting old. Voluntarily downgrading my bandwidth felt like I'm betraying my 15 year old self who obsessed over every single kb/s many years ago. 4K Youtube is about the most bandwidth intensive thing I use these days, any automated stuff is scheduled to run over night and pfSense QoS takes care of the rest. I'd strongly prefer symmetric 30 Mbit over my current 100/10.

I don't think I'd go that far but I definitely agree that I'd rather increase my upload rather than my download at this point. My service plan has been upgraded from 50/5 up to 250/25 in the time I've had it and I stopped noticing the download speed increases in my day to day use after 100mbit/sec. The upload increases however have always been immediately apparent the first time I go to upload something larger than an image.

I don't think I'll downgrade because the next level down is 100 for $60 with a monthly cap rather than 1000 for $80 with no cap. I want fast as possible downloads for when something of course fails to download or is corrupt and I don't realize it until my dinner is hot and I've just sat down on the couch. Want to be able to get up, redownload, sit back down and have it be ready to watch.

Supernews and Newsgroup Ninja both set as priority zero (splits dl between both I guess), 20 connections on each.  Highest I've seen is around that speed. I tried NZBget but it still was around the same speed.

ACKSYN posted:Supernews and Newsgroup Ninja both set as priority zero (splits dl between both I guess), 20 connections on each. I looked at a bunch of reddit posts and it seems like Supernews (Giganew specifically but pricier) and Newsgroup Ninja are the fastest. I've never heard much about ninja before this, but pretty cool if they're fast since it's so cheap. Also heard about downloading from two at once, but I don't think I'll want to pay for that.

What provider do you use? Also, with Astraweb I have US as priority 0 and EU as priority 1. I also have 20 connections. Does that mean they share the 20?

I started out at it costing uhh, $65 and I think they bumped it to $69. It's symmetrical. You ever download a game from steam at 80+ MB/s? It's really nice hahah. And yea, just like lots of other people have said, it's not all about high speed on usenet. Having 10ms ping to game servers and high upload speeds are nice. I don't notice my internet being slow while I'm downloading from usenet either, in fact I harder ever notice even a slight blimp in my internet speeds and I'm quite sensitive to it.

The upload stream is from 5-42mhz or thereabouts, but the download stream is from 88Mhz to 860Mhz. Uploads are on a rotating time window system, every X ms, you get Yms of uploading, no matter if you use it or not. This obviously limits exactly how much data you can upload, but based on the spectrum ratios, most people see a 8:1 to 15:1 download/upload ratio.

This obviously limits exactly how much data you can upload, but based on the spectrum ratios, most people see a 8:1 to 15:1 download/upload ratio. Yeah, a typical cable network has between 600MHz and 1.2GHz of bandwidth. A single channel is 6 MHz wide in NTSC territories and 8 MHz wide in PAL/DVB-C territories. That means somewhere between 100 and 200 channels are available, which deliver 43 (DOCSIS) or 56 (EuroDOCSIS) megabits per second of capacity each but also have to be shared with television service. Analog channels take up a full 6/8MHz, digital systems usually see 2-6 streams per physical channel. It's a chicken and egg problem to a large extent, since the channels are limited and most users download more than they upload the cable companies allocate more channels to download. DOCSIS 3.1 has an extension announced a year or so ago that allows the full bandwidth of the cable to be used in either direction as needed, so once that starts rolling out we can finally see symmetric performance on cable networks.

porksmash posted:I'm assuming almost zero ISPs will give you symmetrical bandwidth. Yep, doesn't it screw with their peering agreements when users start uploading too much content? Also, please correct me on this but cable networks have been switching to digitial networks in the sense that their analog content (those things that the above poster talked about taking a full 8Mhz of spectrum) have largely been replaced by a multicast streams to the set top box that is then decoded. At least that's how it worked at the ISP I worked at years and years ago.

On recommendation of another poster here with gigabit fiber, I bought a month of Newsgroup Ninja to go along with my Thundernews and countless block accounts. Put Ninja and Thunder as priority 0, everything else 1. Still can't crack the ~40 mb/s i got with just my regular old blocks. Is it possible SSL can slow down? Also what does "send group request" or whatever for server settings mean? I don't remember that option..
