Consider this a positive comment. 

After being away for 2 days I logged into the port 119 server and grabbed
news. 

Then I logged into the port 120 server to get some duplicate feeds for
comparison. 

For speed, the new server wins hands down. 

For completed binary articles it's also a winner (I only checked 2 groups
so this is a far from scientific appraisal). 

For completeness of feed (haven't found a missing article in a thread yet)
it's also tops.

  Dave (eagerly awaiting the conversion of port 119 to the new server)
