Giganews Diamond package...

Is anyone using the Diamond Giganews service?

I was just wondering how much of an impact, using SSL will have on my download speeds.

Also - i might be being retarded here - but i can't see any SSL related options in Newsleecher - so i'm assuming i use the SSL port to connect - and that's it - no further config needed from the client side?

Thanks!

You need version 3.8 or higher for SSL

Re: Giganews Diamond package...

Ah right, i'm on 3.7

I've not tired newsgroups since moving onto 20Mb... i'm pretty sure i constantly maxed out my connection on 10Mb... so hopefully i'll be getting a constant 2.4(ish)MB/sec (not using SSL) ?

Using SSL on Easynews doesn't affect my speeds at all, in fact using SSL sometimes improves it.
