Usenet Connections Explained

Usenet servers are engineered to handle an extremely high magnitude of data requests so that thousands of downloads can happen at a time. This means that Usenet users are not limited to just one download at a time, but instead can have multiple downloads simultaneously running by spreading their downloads over multiple concurrent connections.

How Many Connections Should You Use?

While Newshosting offers up to 100 SSL-secured connections, this doesn’t mean you should use all 100 connections - you should only use as many connections as needed to maximize the speed of your Internet connection. Using too many connections may cause slower downloads or could even time them out.

To test how many Usenet connections you should be using, slowly increase the number of connections you have configured on your Usenet newsreader, while checking your bandwidth usage with a speed test. Increase the number of connections until you use all available bandwidth, and that will be your perfect number of connections.
