Hey Rat, I'm a fairly longtime newsguy customer myself. Some 4 years now. I'm seeing a major slowdown in connections all this week. Slow enough to time out fairly often. I'm in southern california and see good traceroute output to enews.newsguy.com, but still a major stall when gnus connects. Thats why I'm trying slrnpull out. Letting slrnpull take the timeouts or stalls etc, and since its on a 5 minute cron job, I still get the news and gnus only has to connect to the slrnpull directory vie nnspool. Are you seeing any problems with newsguy?
