[comp.mail.uucp] UUCP/News seems slooow

wengland@stephsf.stephsf.com (Bill England) (06/23/91)

  I've just installed a Digiboard PC4e on stephsf  with the idea that
  I could increase my Tbit throughput.  I've successfully increassed
  simple uucp file transfers by almost 2.5 times.  The news transfers
  however remain at about the same level they were before.

  Is this slow news transfer from uunet normal ?

  Is there a problem with my Uucp/Digiboard/T2500 configuration ?

  I've tried about every config change I can think of.  Any suggestions
  would be very much appreciated. 


  Thanks,
