How fast is your Usenet provider?
How many "connections" do you use?
Have you ever tried another Usenet downloader?

I have a very similar situation.  I cannot download anything at over 150Kb/s  My computer is new and fine. I thought it was my internet connection for a while (Time Warner sucks) but i have ran several connection speed tests and downloaded a small netmeter which says that I can download at speeds at about 11Mb/s.  My usenet provider is astraweb and my package from them says i should be able to download at 1Mb/s and use 20 connections  very open to any suggestions..  thanks

Have you tried with an alternative Usenet program?
An average spec PC should be able to get a decent speed.
